Laurel, I found your story so interesting I just had to know more, so I went to the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine website provided by the DNR. I hope you don't mind that I provide a link to the magazine and story of "The Fish that Time Forgot" which also includes a nice Flash slide show of the trip in and a few of the author fishing the lake. Visitors to the site can also sign up for a FREE subscription if they wish to. Thanks for the story Laurel.

Retired guides help tell story of Shoepack Lake, By LAUREL BEAGER, Editor

Shoepack Lake and a couple of local retired guides were featured in the November-December of Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine.

Ed Town and Allen Burchell discussed with Michael A. Kallok, the author of “The Fish That Time Forgot,” earlier years when both men guided for muskie at Shoepack Lake.

Town told The Journal he hasn’t been into the lake, located in the interior of Voyageurs National Park, for a number of years.

As a guide, Town often walked the 3 1/2 miles into Shoepack with parties of two or three men to fish for muskie, he said from his Lake Kabetogama home.
