2 years ago we went in Lizz....spent 2 nights on Gaskin....then a short day to Winchell and spent a lot of time exploring the cliff and waterfall....next day went thru Omega, Henson, Pillsbury, Meeds, and spent 2 nights on Caribou. It was a shorter milage trip but we spent 2 days fishing on 2 decent fish lakes. |

You can read my 2012 trip report for more details on the route. There are several options for entering off of Poplar and a couple of options after entering through Lizz. I'm sure Rockwood's website would give you some route ideas, as well as the guidebooks. It's been discussed pretty thoroughly here and a search should yield some good information and ideas. I can't really tell you much about the fishing, though, so I'll leave those specifics to those who are more knowledgeable there. A lot also depends on how much you want to travel and how you feel about the portaging. |

I believe Misquah and winchell have trout, so does little trout lake and ram, but that takes you through some tough portages in the Misquah hills. Lizz is the most popular entry point in the area and most people go that route. I entered on Meeds, but you start your trip with a long (but easy) portage which isn't ideal. I went to Gaskin day 1, then Caribou and out. 2 nights, 3 days. |

I'm leaning towards the medium loop option suggested by cowdoc. I was thinking of going in through Meeds and going the opposite direction and exiting through Liz. Is there any advantage to going one direction or the other on this loop? |
