Awesome! Stayed very close to there on Lake Eva several years ago. Thanks for the report! Hope you got a couple shore lunches in.

 

Pop tarts and Tuna😁

That is a shame! Fried fresh fish, potatoes, and beans is magic! The outfitters up there will usually provide the fryer, fixings, tools, and directions. No harm to eat legal dink fish up there. Very low pressure.

I'm heading up to Ontario farther north of that at the end of August to Pashkokogan Lake to do some walleye and pike fishing.  They say there aren't any smallmouth in the lake but I find that hard to believe and I'll be trying for some of them too.  Should be a good time.

That’s pretty cool!! When you said small creeks I wasn’t thinking that small !

Nice trip report and pics.

Seems like that would have been pretty soft ground bordering those tiny creeks. So, if you got to a place you couldn’t go further it’d be tough to turn around?

Moguy, if they say the lake doesn't have smallmouth it probably doesn't have them. Pike will smack bass lures though. Smallmouth bass were introduced to S. Ontario and they are not found everywhere. Most of the northern lakes are pike & walleye only and  some of the deeper clear water lakes have lake trout too. You will have a great time!

Look to me like it was pretty much water all around the creek. Just really thick grass and weeds you wouldn't be able to paddle through. The water was running through there pretty good. Paddling back up it was tough. Brother had to get out a couple times cuz his yak couldn't make the tight s curves coming back In the current

15 hrs to Atikokan area is about right. Stop in the twin cities on the way up, head to International Falls. Buy your booze and tobacco on the American side and pay the duty at the border. It’s allot cheaper.Maybe another 1.5-2 to Atikokan from Intl Falls. We did the Grand Slam American plan at Camp Quetico a couple years ago. 3 guide days, 5 oyo days. Boats & Motors + Breakfast, shore lunch kit or sack lunch, dinner, and Cabin. Was about $2,000 a man plus, gratuities, gas money, booze, and duty at the border. Passport required, and if you have a DWI or other blips on your record in the past 10 years, get pre approved to enter CA or you might get turned away.
