Once in a lifetime vacation

[Fishinglund]

Hi all!

I just posted this question on another topic, but I thought I might as well try to start my own topic.

I'm in the process of planning that "once in a lifetime fishing trip" for my dad, brother, and myself. I have been trying to decide between a fly-in trip or a drive in resort where I can bring my boat. I like the idea of a fly-in because the fish in those lakes are virtually untouched, but so are a lot of the fish at the drive to lakes.

I would like any information (good or bad) about resorts/lakes that you guys and gals have been to, and which type of vacation you would suggest...(drive to or fly-in). I want this trip to be extra special to say thanks to the two people who taught me how to fish...my dad and brother.

Any responses would be great...oh by the way, we like to fish for Walleye, Northerns, and Muskie.

Thanks,

Fishinglund

Fishinglund,

I don't know why I didn't see your post earlier, but here's my 2 cents...

If you are looking for muskie, walleye, and northerns, I believe Lake of the Woods has a good well rounded number of these three species. The NW Angle would be a good base camp. From there, the three species mentioned are abundant. It would mean getting an Ontario fishing license which is not expensive at all, considering some other expenses. Many resorts are located at the Angle, take your pick, they are all there to make your time happy and memorable.

Fishinglund,

Listen to Hemlock. LOW is a great lake. I would also suggest that you hire a guide for the first couple of days because there is a lot to learn on your first trip. This will also give you a good base of information for future trips. Good luck. have fun.

Eastwind,

I would read the Lac Seul post. There are several resorts to choose from. I'm sure you will have a wonderful experience at whatever place you decide. Good Luck.

I have a great place out of Kenora I have been to with my wife for many years. try Walsten's they have a web page. lots of fly ins on private waters. Hit the sports shows in your area and then get referals from people if you are not sure.
