Hey guys-
I'm planning a trip somewhere in Ontario for eyes, smallies and Northern...we're mainly catch and release, 100% so for smallmouth, and we're looking for a housekeeping plan, a drive to location from Lincoln, NE, and trophy potential. I wanted Lac Seul but they lack the smallies up on the N side, so we've narrowed it down to Pickerel Lake, Rainy Lake camp narrows and the Winnipeg River system. We'd also prefer to have as much seclusion as possible. With all the lodges and info I've been sent I can't make *#@$ing sense of any of it. Could someone PLEASE help me with a suggestion? Thanks a million gentlemen...I owe you one!

Can't help on the Smallies, but we are a very remote lodge with big Pike. Take a look at our web site at southbaylodge.com Good luck. ro

Eagle Nest Lodge on the Winnipeg river. All the three fish you're looking for. http://www.eaglenest.mb.ca

Ok...now you've got me all hot and bothered to get out there....You had to do this.....Only 15 more weeks...

Check out Witch Bay Camp on Lake of the Woods just north of Sioux Narrows.Known for big northerns, muskies and excellent walleye fishing.They have resident expert guides who will show you the best spots...no extra charge.Very secluded.Check their website for more info.Good luck.

Hey Tom- Just a thought/ I have a place in northern Wisconsin,3bdrms, bath,everything! The Lake-3000acres and clear. From mid to late May thru the end of June the smallies are on their beds. You can catch as many as you want every day- 50/75/100 whatever(light winds and sun help). This is catch and release only!! The smallies **average ** 3-4#.Average day you can get several 18"-19" Last June 16 I finally got the big one 22 3/4" and it's going on the wall(replica)! A small one would be 15" seriously. Anyways the lake is also great for walleye, northern and monster musky. The only catch is the clear water makes fishing a real challange. I'm willing to rent for weekend/week if your interested. It's also a great set up for the family, what better way for kids to catch fish than to have them battle 4# smallies!! Post or try e-mail if you wish. Good luck!!
