I see the low water warning  possibly on the Tim R between Tim L and Rosebary L. Realizing  this is very dependent  on the summer we have  would Tim to Rosebary  be reasonably manageable late September and  would you consider it worth the trip? Is there benefit in pushing on to Long Bow for 2 nights rather then staying on Rosebary.  TIA.

Hey Bo,

When I heard it was open I went online to book. I did not hear that certain access points were still closed. So I booked on April 12 when they ice out officially called.

That said, I can understand d that the booking system is not integrated. But when they confirmed that it is still currently closed I do not understand why they cannot do the refund.

Then I am told I can email, which you cannot.  It is only 8 bucks or so but just silly. I cannot go but I cannot get a refund.  A little silly.

As for open or closed, the last bulletin of April 12 seems to still be standing. They have not made updates since then stati g they opened. So I would double check before you go just in case.

Basically what the subject says. Anyone know when Kingscote was added to the Park? I've found one trip report that says 1961, but would love another source to confirm.

Yeah I just noticed no mention of road closures, etc. on Algonquin Park home page. I had different info from outfitters I know in that area and was told Access #3 was still closed.

Also, for refunds, it is for me always by a cheque.  The booking fee is a nuisance but hopefully it goes to a good cause like FOAP, etc.

I checked the Algonquin Park site, clicking numerous links, and never saw anything updated saying "all backcountry access points are now open".  I really expected to see something like that, and a date for that kind of update.

Until access point offices are open, the booking fee of $9+ will always be charged. 

Why book when Algonquin Park page says Access #3 is not open.  I have learned over the.years that Ontario Parks personnel don't know Algonquin Park.

I always book online and have never had any problem.

I will be in that area on Friday, boknows. Will stop to say hi. Been following your AP trip reports for years and would love to meet you. I'll look for the flags.

 
Sounds good... Canadian flags yes...still looking for my Nunavut flag.

Wow yes! I prepared to try the exact same setup! I have 3 williams wobblers so I took one, removed the hook and left it to tie on a fly exactly like you said! Thought of a big bugger, or some bunny strip streamers to give them extra flow would be good choices, but like you said at this time of year it probably won't matter much, just need to get it in front of them. I had heard of people going with a worm behind a spool like this, so I figured a fly should also be a great option back there. 

I also picked up a pack of those Wigglefin action discs, which are a small shaped pieces of plastic that vibrate your fly and you can adjust further up or closer to the fly for faster or slower presentations on the vibration. It just sits on a bobber stop so quick to move where you want it.
