Wistoba Connection, Leaf Rapids, Manitoba Information Please

[JDP]

Does anyone have knowledge and/or experience with this place or fished in this area?

A friend of mine has a weeks worth of accommodations coming from a bid at a fund raiser.

He will be travelling from the Minneapolis area.

Is it reasonable to drive? Are the roads paved,etc.?

Well, the drive would be about 11 hours from Winnipeg.
The drive up highway 6 from Winnipeg is well described on a thread on this very page. From Thompson to Lynn Lake (via Leaf Rapids) it is a gravel road that is not well maintained. Lots of curves, washboard, sharp protruding rocks, mud etc. Not a lot of traffic on the road. There are no road side rest stops.
I've seen this place advertised on v r b o . c o m.
Beautiful country up there, fishing is great. The town history of Leaf Rapids is quite interesting.
Bring a spare tire or two if you are driving. I would not tow boat past Thompson.
I used to live in Lynn Lake and Thompson.

Gerry,

You must have been Googling your business today.

My friend did make the trip up a few years ago.
Quite an experience on the roads!
The accomodations and fishing were good as I recall.
I'm sure his stay was with you as he acquired the trip at an
event in Wisconsin.
