Have a couple trips booked for the Boundary Water Canoe Area this summer.  Hoping to hook into some more quality smallies up there.  Anyone else heading up there to chase them?  If so where to?

I'm headed up there in late May. Going in at Sawbill. Have you ever been up there before? This will be my first trip.

I have always gone in through ely I go to south hegman It is a decent lake but gets alot of day trippers because of the pictograghs on north hegman. if you go back to little bass fishing gets alot better.

good luck and let us know how you do.

Key to the BWCA:  every portage the fishing gets dramatically better.  The further 'in' you can get the better.

That being said, the fishing is wonderful and don't kill yourself to get to the good fishing, you don't really need to.

Many people don't understand or appreciate how wild the place actually is.  It is not an amusement park, its wild.

Get a couple of the bear containers, to keep your food safe and to keep the bears safe too.
