Report
We went North out of Larch Creek EP80 for a 4 day trip water levels were extremely low making portages difficult. We got to Maraboef Lake to fish but kept camp south. Fishing was not that great we didn't land a single one but found an amazing campsite on Clove Lake. Beautiful country and great paddling!
Here are some photos from the trip.
