Planning a trip here in August. Planning a Father / Son outing and this place seems very family / activity oriented. Also want to fish mainly for Walleye and am looking for feedback on fishing, facilities etc. Would you suggest hiring a guide?

I would definitly get a guide especially in that area because all those lakes as you probably know are connected and under quite a bit af pressure. The Guide would be able to take you up into Pipestone where you probably wouldn't go without a guide due to the fact there are no maps produced by MNR. With the money you are spending on a trip why not a little bit more for a guide to give you moreof a chance to stay on fish. I don't mean to say you can't fish but the patterns could be different than you are familiar with.

Rip some lip,

I appreciate your comments. Sounds like money well spent. We're going with a large group so we can split the cost and be sure we have two Wally dinners a day!!!
