I'd move late on day 3 back around American Point for pick-up on day 4. You could consider staying on Cache Bay as an easy option. Save time, good lakers, but no cliffs. |

If anyone has thoughts on other areas I might look at, I’d welcome suggestions. I’ve done Clearwater + Mountain and Duncan + Rose on previous long wknd spring trips, so I’m looking to explore a new area. Permits for the BW could be a challenge, so perhaps the lower end of the Man Chain via Prairie Portage in the Q would be a good option? Thanks! |

Brandt entry point is available during that time. There are several smaller lakes with good laker fishing in that area. I'm not aware of any amazing cliffs but there are several lookout spots with beautiful vistas. A few lakes with reputations for good laker fishing: Paulson (lots of fish but mostly smaller size), Gillis, Little Sag, and many of the smaller lakes in the burned area. If you are willing to make a longer haul, Makwa has good laker fishing. Makwa also has spectacular cliffs. You might also consider Winchill but we didn't have any luck with lakers the one time I was there. It looks like Brule still have permits available if you choose this route. There are some cliffs on Winchill too. Any of your options are going to be wind and weather-dependent to some extent. If you want to go to American Point and go in from there...go for it and adapt if the conditions change. :) Enjoy the planning and post a pic or two of the fish you catch! |
