Secret Spots!

Canadian wilderness, few people, and great fishing

With the lightest use entry point permits for the BWCA & Quetico being booked up so quickly, the last few years, we have been looking for new alternatives. The real quest is finding areas that can provide a high quality experience, and yet are still realistically accessible considering the location's availability, and the time our clients have for their trip. We've found two!

The "wilderness" doesn't stop at the surveyed boundary of the Quetico Park. The lakes and forest keep right on going. Because of this, there are several lakes that are just like those in the Park, but have no entry quotas. They don't connect with strings of other lakes, nor do they appear in travel guides. Very few outfitters know anything about them. The result ... just the kind of trip that's perfect for base-camp type of fishing.

Lying outside of the protected areas of the Park, these lakes offer to a visitor the choice of using a small outboard motor on a square stern canoe, or paddling a lightweight traditional north country canoe. The primary fishing is for northern & walleye, or for smallmouth bass, depending on the lake.

In addition, we've added another fly-in Quetico Park trip location to our list of offerings. Like the trips above, this area is best for one campsite fishing trips.

We offer these trips only on a completely outfitted, fly-in/fly-out basis. The motorized trips start at $875 for 5-days on the water using our Silver package. For those paddling these lake areas, prices start at $590 (Silver) and $670 (Gold) for a five day trip. Normal discounts apply. Interested? Call us and ask for information about the new fly-in trips.
