Couple of fish we caught in Quetico this fall. Nothing too impressive, just a couple guys from the deep south trying to figure out how to fish up here :) All fish are still in the Q waiting to be caught again by the next intrepid fisherman.

We caught a fair number of eyes, but just eaters so I didn't post a picture of them. For some reason we just have had no luck with big walleye, the technique for them is so much different than any fish in the south and without bait it's been hard. I really don't know what we should do differently.


Yeah this is our third trip up there and the first time I've tried a wacky rig. It worked great, caught bass, pike, and even a few walleye with it. Believe it or not, I didn't lose a single wacky rig hook, but I came close. I had a pike that I brought up to the bank, it ran against a rock when I went to grab it and snapped my braid. A few minutes later my dad caught a pike with my wacky rig stuck in his mouth lol!


We love this place, it's become an annual trip for us. The only problem with quetico/bwca is that there's some kind of time flux there, it seems to move a lot faster when in the Q.

We didn't do bad, caught a fair amount of fish every day. We fished Pickerel, French, Ron, Buckingham, Art, and some unnamed lakes. The northern was 39".

I, too, am from the South, and those were some wonderful fish. Glad you guys had a good trip. Those Smallies are awesome. The Pike and Lake Trout ain't too shabby either. Thanks for sharing.

Nice fish. It's an added bonus when you can be in one of the most beautiful places in the world and catch fish too.

Yeah I have to agree "not to impressive", if that was as big of fish as you can catch then I'd give up fishing and take up golf. Just kidding of course, those are some really nice fish and glad to hear you released them. I did notice there are no walleye pictures, didn't fish for them? Hopefully you will get time this winter to write up a trip report and we'll get to see some more pictures. In case no one has welcomed you to the board allow me to be the first. FRED
