I just started winter camping this past season and am planning ahead for bigger adventures. I would like to make a 3-4 night trip into Quetico for lake trout fishing somewhere around Cache Bay next March.

Has anyone done this? I would be interested in details and advice, especially on how to travel... do you get a tow to Hook Island via snowmobile or pull sleds the entire distance? I'd rather not spend 2 days traveling in and 2 days traveling out. Outfitters who provide winter camper assistance? Any suggestions or alternatives would be helpful. At this point, my mind says Quetico, not BWCA.

Have you looked over on Wintertrekking.com for info.

I'd go to Woodland Caribou... That is what we did last year and we had an amazing, remote, and perfect camping experience. Cold but fun!

Thanks for the link... I will be checking this out tonight!

Here is a link for an outfitter up in Grand Marias, MN that rents out tents and gear for Winter camping. Stone Harbor Wilderness

Bobbernumber3, I emailed you a buch of websites that are about winter camping. Enjoy reading them.

Do any fishing?

That is quite a long haul for winter camping.

The best part of winter camping is you don't have to go far for complete solitude.

Remember also, if you get a major snow storm, or if ice conditions change, it can bring you to almost a complete stop. I've traveled into the number lakes with great ice/weather in a few hours only to take two full days, with maximum effort, to get out.
