Episode 115–Travel in the “Shoulder Season.” Kyle Johnson is relatively new to the Boundary Waters, but so far has experienced the wilderness in all seasons, including solo trips in early spring and late fall. Kyle sets the scene for a recent outing in late October of 2024, where he encountered extreme quiet, observed the mid-stages of wildfire ecology after the Ham Lake fire of 2007, enjoyed a clear, moonless night perfect for astral photography and experienced a wide range of weather conditions.
Kyle also shares the exciting story of catching his first walleye–which happened to be one of the rare, blue walleyes sometimes found in northern Minnesota and Canada. Click here to learn more about the elusive, blue walleyes of the border country.
