Anyone here ever been to and fished the Grass River in Manitoba? I was talking with Dennis Davidson last night (owner of Northwest Canoe) and he said the best fishing he's ever experienced was on the Grass River in Manitoba. I hadn't heard of it so I googled a little today and discovered there is a Grass River Provincial Park in western Manitoba. If anyone else has been there I'd like to hear what you have to say.

I did a 20 day trip on the Grass River back in 1980. Wasn't primarily a fishing trip but we did Catch fish whenever we were hungry. I would tell my buddy to get a fire going and I would make a few casts and have all we could eat.
We put in at First Cranberry and paddled to Wekusko where we were stranded by wind for 2 days and finally gave up and retraced our steps. In 20 days we saw one other canoe. Had a caribou almost come into our camp on Reed Lake.
It was a great memory and I would love to go back. If I ever do go back I think I would just go up to Elbow Lake and base camp there. I think we paddled from First Cranberry to Elbow in one long day but I might not be remembering right.
There are lodges up there and you can do that in a boat and motor but we didn't see any.
