Is it easier to go from Oyster to Agnes - or Agnes to Oyster?
If you were to do a loop - Nina Moose - Agnes - LLC - etc back around to Ge-be-on-equat - would you go clock wise or CCW?
My focus is fishing, so I want to save my strength for hauling in the big ones.
Thanks.

It's quicker and easier to get to LLC from Agnes. It depends on where you want to concentrate you fishing efforts though. We've gotten to LLC in 1 day, double portaging with two adults and 2 - 15 year olds without too much trouble. The water levels in Oyster river might make a difference as well. There's several beaver dams to negotiate and they are easier coming down from Oyster Lake. We went through Oyster both ways to get to Gebe on another trip, but stopped short of going to LLC. It was a pretty good haul. We took 2 days to get to Gebe. I had a bad leg injury coming in though, so you might be better able to get there in one day than we were. Rocky has some tricky landings, so it's best not to be too tired when you go through it.

Excellent advice.
Always listen to someone who's been there - done that.
Thanks for your time.
