I have a group of 6 entering on Snowbank in a couple weeks. We have six nights but are looking for relatively low mileage because we have one first-timer and I like to spend a good amount of time fishing as well. I know that Snowbank can be windy and wavy, so unless its very calm with a good forecast, I won't risk the paddle to Boot, and we'll go into Parent (edit: or Disappointment) right away instead. But I can't decide where to go from there. I have heard Ensign can be very busy in August, so I'm wondering if there are any lakes in the vicinity that offer more solitude? Perhaps Ima or Hatchet? And any suggestions for good fishing anywhere along the way? Thanks! |

Ausable: "The 140 rod portage from Snowbank to Disappointment is a decent alternative to the two portages through Parent. " Ah yes, that's actually what I was thinking. I've heard Disappointment is a nice lake with good fishing. But I'd be happiest if Snowbank is calm the first morning so that we can make it to Boot and do a loop down to Disappointment. Thanks for your input. |
