Birch Lake Babbitt, MN
We would not go back, at least that late in season. Plenty of rock bass, a few walleye and northern. Not one smallmouth bass. Above the water it had the Canadian look and feel.

New owners
Hoppy,
I think that Chris an Daniel did a good job in first year. IMO Daniel is the McGyver of the Canadian bush. We fished Hornby the last week of August and everything went smoothly.
