Just got back from Quetico. It's nice to fish some unpressured fish once a year. Every year seems to top the last one. I think we stuck more 3-4 lb smallies this year than ever. 6 days avg 100 fish a day between two guys avg size 2.8 lbs. Numbers were down, but it was early and water temps were in the high 30's on main lake - upper 40's in the backs of the bays. Saw a few fish bedding in 48˚ water!!!!! When you got to go....you got to go.
Have a great summer everyone!

What lakes did you fish? I went up there a couple of time in the lates 80s. We canoed in about 15 hours to Lake Russell. It was smallmouth topwater heaven. It was a lot of work though portaging, and roughing it in the wilderness. I was always a little worried about having an accident in there with no communication, and taking a day trying to get out if something happened.
