anybody ever go to canada alone

[illineye]

I am considering going to either eagle or lac seul by myself (haven't ever fished either one). Has anyone done this before and how did you like it? Any pointers or tips? Which lake/resort would be better for a lone person?

Several threads along this line have been discussed, try the search function, you'll be able to find the threads!
My wife will be going with me next year, she doesn't fish, but she will go out in the boat, part of the day. I can see some solo morning trips, followed by some afternoon boating/trolling and exploring trips.
My only concern is for safety, I have some new walkies, that will help me keep in touch with her at the cabin. If I was to go completely solo, I would let the camp owner my plans or give them the other walkie! If you need some real quiet time on the lake, going solo would do it! The only question is who is going to hear the "fish tails"??

'eye, there have been several threads in the past about doing solo trips. Use the search function (you'll see the button above) and do a search for "solo trip", "going alone," etc. You'll get lots of good suggestions, opinions, ideas.

I've done Canada solo a few times. Is this your first time? I would be tough for me but I'm just an average fisherman. I've been to Minaki numerous times and have no problem going alone. Done it the last 2 years. If you go to Eagle I'd go to Andy Myers. Get a guide a couple of times,shoot the crap with the guides. If you go eye fishing with the guides you'll be very successful. Then you can venture out on your own. Knowing a few good spots. Musky fishing I think Eagle is tougher than Minaki solo for a first timer. i used to think going alone would be tough but I rather enjoy it. Go where your want ,when you want,how you want, and fish for what you want.

Only 1 boat on a good lake works for me, especially in early October. I do it about 2 out of 3 years.

I also make 2 or 3 trips with a pretty good sized group. That works also.

I'm going alone in September . Here's the thread where I was given some excellent advice.

welcome to the best canadian fishing web site there is - in spite of postings by tooski.

EXCELLECT handle by the way! best one since "beer slayer".

i've done some solo fishing - my advice? - get a partner, even if it's someone from cleveland. you just can't fish 24 hrs a day so it's more enjoyable to shoot the breeze over a fresh walleye dinner and a canadian sunset with another brain. and, if you find someone to go to the great white north with, recognize that you already have something in common - regardless of your political views!

My advice is take someone else to split the costs with. And if you make the right choice and choose someone like Phish it will be like fishing alone anyhow...
