you may have met 3 of our guys there this week as John McCarthy, Mike Meunier and harry Brake were and still are there until tomorrow. Hope you out fished them.
I will ask you to confirm their lies about the size and numbers they caught when they try to tell them to me next week.
We did meet your friends! Very nice fellows, and typical sailors all! We ran into them on the river several times, had some nice chats. They drink like sailors for sure!

HEHE yes son, if you want to come along you are welcome, my summer is pretty busy untl late July/begining of August but I would like to go up there for a at least a long weekend.
come on over for a refreshing sud or two and well talk about it.
Hi Macktitler, Looks like you guys had a good trip.
We are thinking about staying in Parent on our upcoming Gouin trip. Does it seem safe around there to park loaded (beer and gas) boats for the evening.
We have been through Parent before and always thought it looked kind of rough and wondered how safe a town it is.
We usually stay in Senneterre (nice) and take the Penetration road to Gouin but have concerns about the last part of this road not being maintained.
Parent is a pretty rough town but I don't think that you are risking your boats or personal items by staying overnight there anymore than you would if you left it in Gatineau or Downtown Ottawa.
Having said that if you've got the option to drive the extra hour from Parent to the Gouin or stay overnight there, I would make the drive.
You are right, the last 20 kms of road is fairly rough with some medium sized rocks having been kicked up making it a little dicey in spots. However, if you slow down where you need to you will have no problems whatsoever. When we were at Nemio last week Ron was saying that the grater was supposed to be coming through soon, so that should make your drive a little easier.
Have fun on the Gouin. Bring lots of jigs...chartreuse was kicking butt last week.
