I'll be following this thread. Heading to the same area at the same time. Never been there, so it will be a learning experience. Maybe we'll meet up in there!

Good Labor Day weekend to you all!

After many years of traveling the west end of the park we've decided to go east. A tow on Saganaga to American Point has been reserved. Was hoping I could get some recommendations for a route that is fishing centric(Big Pike, Walleyes, Trout).

With just a bit of looking around Im thinking of a route that goes down through Ester, Hanson, South Arm knife, Ogish Alpine and paddle to Seagull outfitters through Seagull Lake.

What lakes would make a couple good basecamps allowing us to fish hard and see the other must see lakes in the area? Everybody talks about Cherry being beutiful for example.

A major goal is to catch more Lake Trout than we have in the west end and I figure being in more lakes with trout is a no-brainer place to start but if you have specific intel on lakes, tactics that your willing to share here or privately it would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
