Default A couple of Quetico fish pics

Just got back from Quetico on Tuesday, here are pics of my biggest pike and smallmouth. The pike was 41 inches and the smallmouth was 21 inches. The pike was caught on a Zulu and the smallmouth on a magnum torpedo.

My back held up well, spent a lot of time in a canoe and car seat. I am not 100 percent but I feel a lot better than I did a few weeks ago.

It seems like once you catch fish like that it would ruin fishing down here. I would still love to make my way up there someday.

That statement to me sounds like a fishing report. I didn't move it, but I understand why it was. It wasn't related to "SW" reports, or any other Fishing Reports forum except "Out of State".

OK thanks. I have seen a lot of things on the Ohio South West Fishing Reports that are not Ohio South West fishing reports. Just saying......

Soooooooo jealous! Both fish are amazing. I can't believe you did not wrench your back again hoisting the pig out of the water.

Looks like it was a fantastic trip, can you give us some trip details? Did you have a guide, where did you stay, boat rentals where did you put in, that sort of thing.

TIA!

I am the guide. I stayed in a tent for 10 days. The only way to get to most of these lakes is to portage. Portage means picking up your backpack and canoe and carrying it across a path full of rocks, roots, ups, downs, streams, puddles, fallen trees, skeeters or any other kind of bug lurking in the woods. No boat rentals, I own my own canoe. It is made out of kevlar and is 18 years old. I put in at Prarie Portage where the ranger station is located, it is in the middle of the wilderness where you cross the border. You pick up and pay for your permits and fishing licenses there. You also need a RABC to cross the border in the middle of the woods. RABC stands for remote area border crossing (permit).

If you have any other questions just let me know.

After 25 years it is still hard to go from up there to the GMR, but I manage. That 31.5 inch carp hooked in the tail peeled off a lot more line today than that 41 inch pike I had hooked in the mouth.

Beautiful smallies !! We made it to Ely, Minnesota one year but never made it into the BWCA. Probably too old for a trip like that now.

You're not too old for a trip. Keep it easy and don't go too far and don't pack too much and you should be good.
