A fly-in, by nature, can get you into less traveled areas. For instance, the
La Croix Ranger Station (fly-in) has about one-third the number of paddlers
starting there as does the Prairie Portage Ranger Station (paddle-in). You
can choose from a short 5-day trip with only two camps, to a full 10 to 12-
day trip taking you deep into the heart of Quetico Park. About one third of
our parties opt for flying-out; the others are picked up at a remote landing
on the U.S.-side for a van ride back to our base.
The fishing pressure is significantly reduced, so larger fish are regularly
caught (and released). As a testament to the fishing quality, on a few lakes
you might even catch a glimpse of a Canadian/Ojibway Indian fishing guide
plying his ancestral trade. The Ontario government still allows their
natives to guide from small boats versus paddled canoes. Should you want to
set-up a remote tent base camp outside of Quetico Park, we can supply
motorized square stern canoes for your fishing adventure.
Now, with that said, you should not, by any means, infer that you have to
get on a float plane to have a good trip. Or that if you don't fly you won't
have a chance at catching larger than average fish. Or that if you want to
get away from people that you have to pay the additional cost of chartering
a float plane. These things simply are not true. We are simply stating that
these things are easier to achieve with a fly-in trip.
