This was a trip at least one year in the planning. Of course it seemed to last just hours in my mind. Four adult men, three sons and a nephew. The boys are ages 9, 9, 10 and 14. We had originally planned to go into Ensign and base camp, but hearing from this site where a little more portaging would bring us, we decided that going into Knife would be a better trip with better fishing and less traffic. We started out at LaTourells, and I must say, Bob could not have been a better host and outfitter. Our group was completely outfitted by them and everything from equipment to food to tow boat was great. Our group was pretty inexperienced with the exception of a couple of us adults making three or four trips as young adults. I can honestly say that it will not be nearly as long until we go again.
