Going into the bwca will give you more seclusion but more restrictions such as having to hand drill all of your holes and pull all of your gear in with a sled(not a snowmobile). Also travel conditions through the bwca in the winter can become very slow and difficult. |

I'm sure there are other outfitters who have the whole setup for you but set you up outside the BWCA. Hopefully others will have more scoop for you on this. My limited experience has been toward the Gunflint for lakers. I've parked at Tuscarora Lodge a couple times and know they have cabins going for ice fishers all winter, so you might want to check with them. Other outfitters up there probably also have options like you are looking for, but you may have to make some calls. Good luck, it really is beautiful up there in the winter. |

After spending many years paddle, camping and fishing Quetico and the BWCA during the summer I want to try it in the winter. That is fishing without the paddling and camping. My question is where does one ice fish in the BWCA? Are there resorts that provide the ice fishing gear, provide transportation to the fishing spots and drill the holes? Or does one provide their own gear and just stay at a resort or a hotel in Ely? |
