If I were you, looking for a river tirp, I'd head elsewhere than the BWCA. Try the Big or Little Fork Rivers, or the Cloquet.

Vermillion River, from Lake Vermillion to the High Falls above Crane Lake.

If you really want a trip of a lifetime try the Cree or Waterfound Rivers in Sask. I've done both and it is truly wilderness and the fishing that comes with it.

ok how about just small water within the BWCA? we defiantly want to be with in the BWCA. any routs with good fishing? we don't care about having to do portages at all.

Kawishiwi might do.

Can't promise Kawishiwi would be a dream trip for you but I would enter at Lake One ep and head southwest down the Kawishiwi. As pretty of an area as it gets and I have never had bad fishing down there.

I'm headed out of EP #32 in late June this year. It will be my first time there. I'll try to report on it.

If you're settled on the BWCA (and not Quetico), then the Kawishiwi will fit the bill. Other rivers like the Louse and Frost are not especially good for fishing in my experience, and they're more an exercise in portaging over beaver dams than actual river paddling.

The Perent and Isabella Rivers in the southern BWCA might also work. Good fishing down there. Campsite availability might be limited because of the recent fire down there.
