Entry point was 25-Moose lake. Went north, and then west onto Ensign Lake. Camped on eastern end of Ensign lake. Very busy and lucky to get a campsite. Day 2, went to Cattyman Falls and on down to Disappointment Lake. All sites full. Had to get off the water due to inclement storm. Ended up on Parent Lake on day 3, western camp site. Beautiful site. Exited from Snowbank lake on day 4. Overall fishing was poor. Some small mouth bass on Parent lake.
Nothing elsewhere. Approximately 20 miles of paddling/portaging. 11 portages in total. Already planning for 2025.

Report


So a little background. All my kids were born in Costa Rica, and we moved to MN in April 2015. I had my 2 girls aged 15 and 10 in a canoe in the BWCA May 16th 2015. We had rain, a little snow and some gorgeous sunny days. Fishing was not bad. This trip, the next year, I only had my 11 year old daughter with me as her older sister felt one trip was enough. Day 1 is a water taxi through Moose and Newfoundland and then we are off into Ensign, a decent portage into Vera and a great campsite. Day 2, 3 and 4 are spent fishing Vera and neighboring lakes with some good fish caught. Weather was incredible. Some adventures were had and we loved our trip.
