Fly in Fishing in Canada

[smalleychaser]

Anybody have any good recommendations for a resonably priced fly in fishing trip in canada for smallmouth and walleye?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do a boat-in trip to a camp called Ashrapids on Lake of the Woods. You can google Ashrapids and find their web-site for prices, etc. I have been there for the last 5 years and it has been great. There seems to always be groups from KY there.

Go to Quetico. Float plane trips will cost you about $750/person for four people and gear....IF you already have your own gear.....that is IF you only need partial outfitting. We've looking into doing these to reduce the paddle in time and increase the fishing time to some of the more remote areas.

Fly-in trips to cabins and lodges are quite a bit more pricey....maybe $2500 and up. It really depends on the level of services you need and the amount of competition in the area. If you check out Ely, MN, you'll notice a ton of outfitters and relating accomodations.

I leave Friday so you know I'm stoked....we are shooting for around 1000 smallies this year between two guys. I'm worried about my thumbs.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON May-25-06 AT 07:13PM (EST)[/font][p]My 2 favorite Spots are Green Island Resort on Lake Manitou and Bear Lake Wilderness Camp.
Green Island is a Fly in and Bear lake is a boat in and a bit closer to KEntucky than Green Island by about 7 hours driving and a few hours shorter flying since you have to fly into Duluth and then into International Falls.
Bear Lake is on the edge of a Wilderness area and has leases on lakes and ponds in the wilderness area.. Walk in only lakes. Some seldom see fishermen. Big Black Bear Population and you can also hunt bear here in season. High Percentage of success at this resort. It is owned by a Kentuckian Bill Drane retired Colonel from the US Military. http://www.blwc.com
He runs a top notch place. http://www.1fghp.com/on.html to see links of both places...
Green Island is where Fishin.com staff has gone in the past. The lake is Fly In only. Comes with a cabin and a boat with gasoline for 3 or 4 days. Absolutely GREAT smallmouth, pike and occasional walleye, but the real treat here is that there are RECORDED World Record Muskie swimming in the lake. Regular catches of muskie over 45 inches come from this lake.
Then there is the Terrific LAKE Trout fishing. I highly recommend taking some gulp twister tails for this..with simple jigs.

I 2nd Nestor falls fly-in and I have and would reccomend flying into Kishkutena for the smallmouth for the day. They also have a cabin on the lake to stay. We typically fish LOTW/Crow lakes for bass. good luck.

I really appreciate all the responses I have gotten. Doing alot of research on these places. Any and all suggestion are appreciated and will be researched. When I think I have covered about all of the Lakes in Ontario Canada I get a bunch more to check out. By the time it's all said and done I should be an expert. LOL
Thanks to All!!

I just got back in town tonight from opening week. This was my 19th trip using Wilderness Air outside of Dryden, Ontario. In all of the years I have been going this is the warmest weather we have had. Three days in the lower 80's. Walleye and smallie bite were excellent.
