cyclones30: "Devils Cascade is kinda cool on the portage heading north into Loon " Visited Devil's Cascade during my border route trip in May 2018. I was very impressed and recommend this stop to ALL! |

anthonyp007: "Lots of people poo poo the old unmarked portage from Slim to Fat but it really wasn’t that difficult. Locating it and the first steep climb up out of Slim were the hardest parts. I’m sure you’ve researched it, but the portage starts just south of the little creek on the east side of Slim. There were some deadfalls in the water that made it hard to see and land the canoe. The view on the Fat side is glorious and the campsite on Fat was choice. I landed a heritage Lake Trout within my first 30 minutes fishing there. What a thrill. I can’t wait to go back there. I had that whole area to myself on a 5 day solo in July of 2017. Have fun! Can’t wait to hear about your trip! |

We got an early start the morning we started, made it thru Loon, over Beatty portage and into Snow Bay of LLC by early afternoon single portaging. On the way back Slim was really cool. Loon we stayed on, I'll never do that again. Boats were annoying. Just passing thru wasn't bad |

30Smoke: "I would like to thank all for their replies. Devils cascade definitely, slim to fat and catch a heritage trout. Lady boot is quite a ways off. But maybe, depending on the fishing. I have read all the trip reports in that area, including vno. Maybe trigg for the brook trout. Looking forward to the trip" Lots of people poo poo the old unmarked portage from Slim to Fat but it really wasn’t that difficult.

A few things: There's an unmaintained portage from Slim to Fat. Lake trout in Fat. Oyster has some sites with beach areas. Also areas of beach around the lake. Don't forget the pictographs on LLC. Lady Boot Bay on LLC is nice. |
