We are headed in this Sunday for a week in the Quetico/Cirrus area.
Lots of youngsters along this year, so I see quite a bit of swimming and hammock time. Should be a great week.

Steve,

Am heading to BH in Sept, so would like a bit of report when you get back. Water levels were very unusual last year - some very high and some record low. Beavers had been very busy!

Also - glad to see another TN resident who enjoys the Quetico. I live in Johnson City at far northeastern tip.

Steve - our group was there a couple years ago in early September. Didn't have great fishing, but water was surprisingly high that time. Check out Sue Falls if you'll be going that far on Cirrus with youngsters in tow. Consider the petroglyphs on Quetico Lake. Easy to get to and may be an educational opportunity for the young guns. Decent fishing in the various bays and Quetico mid-lake rock piles, especially for walleye.
We also just finished a Beaverhouse to Nym trip (via Jean and Jesse) three weeks ago. I would say water levels were higher than I expected (especially with the Fathers Day storm). Water was surprisingly warm. Bugs were only a minor nuisance. Fishing was good on Quetico: walleye, bass and pike were well represented

Don - when are you putting in Beaverhouse?? We are entering there on Saturday Sep 3rd, probably mid morning. Would be great to meet.

Planning to put-in at BH on Sun Sept 11. Have to fly to MSP then drive to Q Saturday. Will overnight at Indiaonta Lodge for an early start Sunday.

Might cross paths on your way out?

Looks like a swing and a miss. We'll likely be out by Saturday the 10th. Maybe another time...
Enjoy your trip!

Sorry to hear we won't overlap. Always nice to chat with paddlers.

Drop me a note on how your trip goes. I will do same.

We made a trip through Beaverhouse in June. I'll probably be back there a day after Old Hoosier. We're driving up Sept 11 & are also spending the night at Indiaonta. Not yet 100% decided between Beaverhouse & Stanton Bay for entry the next morning... probably Beaverhouse.
