Man, that's quite the drive. I'm impressed. And thanks for the perspective...I get a little cranky when I think about my 6.5 hour drive up to Atikokan. :)

Great read of a neat trip. Thank you for sharing. Love the number of pics you add in.

Glad you had a great trip. I was fishing on the Columbia River near Rufus the end of the first week in June.
Did you like the trip to Ely? I know its a long drive but that has always been a favorite part of the trip to the BW. I usually take the pickup and camper. Can't do that anymore as we got a bigger camper and the canoe rack won't fit on it. I guess its fabrication time.

Great report fishguts. We took almost the same trip a week after u except my 2 younger boys were intimidated by the portage into brent from the argo side. I heard about the "muck" hole from Mark Zups and had a mental picture of me in it up to my neck. Otherwise we did Bottle-Iron-Crooked-Argo-Darky-Ballard-Wicksteed-Little Gratton-Pond-McAree-out at Black robe. Its a great part of Quetico-I suspect one day we will bump into eachother. Glad u had a nice trip

Finally got finished reading your report after starting a couple days ago. Real interesting comparing the weather you had with mine on the 8 days we overlapped. Great report and pics! --Goose

Thanks Goose!
I just added 2 more videos one of our cold days camp on Brent and another of underwater smallmouth on Argo.:-)

thanks for the videos! the photos are pretty great, too. enjoyed reading about your fishing success but also managing the portages, landings with high water, and camp setup (tarp issues seems to be a common theme these days).
it's a long haul from Oregon and you guys sure seemed to make the most of it!

Great trip report and a lot of great photos. Looks like you had a fun time.

Very good trip report, fishguts! I felt like I was there with you, and I don't even fish, so that is a big accomplishment! :-)

Great photos!
