Guided Backcountry Canoe Fishing Trip        "Leave the Crowds Behind!"

                                                                                       6 full days of fishin' and paddlin'.

 

For those of you with a more adventuresome spirit our Guided Backcountry Canoe Fishing Trip may be what you are looking for. Solitude, fishing remote lakes that only see a handful of anglers every summer, and that good feeling of knowing you have earned that trophy smallmouth you just released are just a few of the rewards that taking a few portages will bring. Having a guide who knows how to pack, and what to bring, make these trips do-able no matter what your paddling experience. We outfit you with our Kevlar "superlite" outfitting package that make even the toughest portages a breeze. If you are really looking to get away and leave the crowds behind this is a must trip!

 

Each Guided Backcountry Canoe Fishing trip is customized with you the client in mind. We consult with you to determine your goals and expectations for the trip. Feel free to drop us an e-mail, or give us a call at (218) 365-6285 to discuss your backcountry fishing adventure.

 

Add a guide to any of our packages for $190 per day.
