Hello all,

My lady friend is coming up from Florida for a week and we are planning a trip for 3 days/nights. I want to awe her with this experience, I haven't been up to the BW since I was younger and other of our birthdays will be during our excursion so I want to make it special. I'd love for her to catch some big pike and smallies but walleye would be great as well. We will be there from august 25-27. I know late august can be great for these fish, I just dont know where to find them up there. We'd also love great places to site see, swim and have fun. Any and all help as far as the fishing but also where to set in, camp and paddle out to. I have a 17' flat back canoe and considering bringing my small motor to help with trolling and longer adventures. Thank you in advance for helping this guy plan the perfect trip!!

Your best bet would be to talk to an outfitter. If you are thinking motorized and big pike, that sounds like Basswood. Call LaTourelle's in Ely or another outfitter in that area and see what they have to say. The folks at Spirit of the Wilderness have been good at answering my questions, too. It is a busy time, so permit availability might be an issue. Good luck.
