Our guides live for fishing these waters.  Let our guides put you on the best reefs, holes and cast the most productive shorelines. They will show you the proper techniques and rigs for successfully fishing Northern Minnesota waters, which will certainly eliminate hours of trial and error.

Package #1 - Famed Basswood Lake

Portage into famous Basswood Lake. This is one of, if not the Northern Minnesota Fishing Lake . As the producer of Walleye over 14lbs., our state record Northern Pike 45lbs 12oz., and Smallmouth over 6lbs., this lake has what most anglers are looking for - an excellent population of game fish as well as a legitimate shot at the catch of a lifetime. It is important to note that this lake is in a motorized portion of the Boundary Waters so entry will require a day use permit. These permits are reserved quickly so early reservations are a must! If you are interested, please give us a call as soon as possible. You will enjoy fishing out of comfortable (custom rigged for portaging) 14ft to 16ft boats. We take your comfort seriously, all our boats are equipped with seats and back rests. Please click here to read the BWCAW rules and regulations.

Let your guide position your canoe allowing you maximum time to cast, troll or jig for a delicious shore lunch, which will be prepared over a warm campfire along the waters edge. These trips can be some of the most productive fishing trips we offer, so if you like to canoe and fish this is the trip we suggest.
