Fly-In Fishing In Canada

[Fishinguy40]

My wife and I would like to do a fly-in fishing trip in Canada for walleye. We would like to do it in June. I was wondering if somebody has a particular outfitter that they would recommend?

I have done some looking on the internet and feel overwhelmed by all the different outfitters that advertise. Sometimes word of mouth means a lot.

We do have a few "requirements" that we are looking for.

1. There will only be 2 of us. I notice that most advertise pricing for a minimum party of 4. We would like to keep the price around $1600 US for a 4 day 3 night trip.

2. We want to be on a lake by ouselves. We're not taking the kids so what's the sense of flying to a remote lake if you're still gonna see other people.

3. The wife isn't a big outdoor person though she loves fishing. It doesn't have to be lavish but she wants running water for showers and toilet.

4. I would like the home base where we fly out from to be within a day's drive of the Twin Cities (no more than an 8 or 9 hour or drive).

5. I also noticed that many advertise catch and release or catch and consume. I'm all for conservation but we would like to be able to bring home with us our legal limit when the trip is done. We are more interested in "good fishing" than trophy fishing.

Are we expecting too much for the price we want to pay? I would appreciate any comments or advice, as we have never done this before.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would think think that's alot. Most outfitters don't take parties of 2, especially in June as this is there prime time. I would assume that you'll have a hard time even finding open June dates. You'll find running water at most outposts anymore, but flush toilet really narrows you choices fast. My best advice would be go the Minneapolis show in March and try and find a trip at that time as the outfitters are willing to negotiate with openings they have because June is getting really close.
