On a beautiful sunny day we find ourselves back at the John Lake entry point. A light breeze is blowing and the crystal clear waters are beckoning. Jim and I begin our trip along the Border Route much like we had the year before. Traveling along the Royal River you are surrounded by cliffs and [...]

On a calm summer day in the Boundary Waters we decided to try our luck at catching some lunch.  Fishing in the bays of Lac La Croix has provided us with some great experiences over the years.  On this particular trip we decided to fish in a little bay just North of Never Fail Bay.  [...]

Winter is upon us and it seems its already over half way done.  If you’ve been out ice fishing I hope you’ve been successful and enjoyed the time outdoors.  For those of you who haven’t been out ice fishing before we’ve put together this little HOW TO video showing you the basic steps in setting [...]

The sun is shining on a hot day in August.  The wind gently cools us off as we paddle north on the Stewart River.  The Stewart River is a winding river littered with dinner plate sized lilly pads and portages thick with foliage.  We make our way on through Stewart Lake and into Boulder Bay.  [...]

The Stewart River entry point starts you out with over a 400 rod portage.  This will get your blood pumping just in time to start your paddle up the river.  We are paddling under sunny skies with a nice breeze.  Canoeing in the BWCA doesn’t get much better.

Our July trip is coming to a close as we paddle towards the East end of Crooked lake.  The narrow passageways make for a very scenic paddle catching glimpses of wood ducks, loons, eagles, and even a mink.  The episode comes to a close with the magnificent cliffs that tower over the end of the [...]

Working our way across the 300 rod portage heading north out of Gun Lake we came across a group of people working for the Minnesota Conservation Corps.  They were a trail maintenance crew out rebuilding the portage.  If you are looking for a great summer gig check them out at www.conservationcorps.org.

The temps are in the upper 20s and the sun is shining.  With a three day weekend we head into Ramshead Lake.  We catch some nice fish and spend the weekend enjoying the great weather.  There were fresh wolf tracks around the island we were sleeping each morning.  Jesse and I did a little skiing [...]
