My father and I have been talking about doing a fly-in Canadian fishing trip for some time. The funds are a little tighter than I had hoped, and now we are revising it to a drive up/bring our own boat and camp to save money. I know their a 1000 outfits that can do just that.....we went to the sports show last year and all the info we got was geared more toward the fly-in trips. With time running short and needing to get a reservation in (going late june/early july) I need to figure this out soon. I know a few of you have a favorite spot up thier and hoped you would share it with me. Needs: 1.Drive to (12/15 hours) 2.Tent camping 3.Of course...Good walleye fishing
I booked a trip from these guys last year at the sports show. My son and 4 others had the trip of a lifetime! It is about 3 hours northeast of fort frances. A very easy drive for some excellent fishing! Let me know if you want any further info. Shannon@bucketrack.com
I have asked a couple people I work with and have heard that the provinchal parks are cheap, and very decent to camp at. May go that route. Try and narrow down a couple of good lakes and then find a "state" park to camp at...heard it was like $10 a night for the camp site.
I think I have found the lake....Reed Lake in Manitoba. Anyone ever fish it before? Going to stay at Grass river Provinchal park...Its like $10 a night. Other then gas getting their, cheap trip. The lake is known for monster Northers, Walleye, and lakers. Just woundering if any of you have been or heard of it.
I have little expierence with the lakes up there other than the trip I took last year with my son. I do however would like to know what time we are leaving and the dates so I can tell my wife when I will be gone!
Late June/early July (middle of bug season).....Speaking of wives, Mines not real happy about this either. I really don't think 2 bwca trips and 1 little 900 mile jont into northern Manitoba is such a big deal? That only gets me through end of july.....I think thier is plenty of time to plan 1 more outting in early sept. Talked with a resort up thier (on the lake) last year they had the big walleye go out at 33 inches and 100's in the 27-31 inch. Looked on the web site and lost count of how many Northerns went 40 or bigger....Much bigger. Now, If I can just add my name to the list of big fish ....Suppose I would have to pay the going rate at the resort to get on the wall of fame...yep, I'm just to cheap.
Canadian drive up trip...advice where to go - - -
