Spent Saturday in the nearby campground so we could take off early on Sunday. My companions had arranged for a guided trip to a backwater lake which included 2 boat changes and a 20 minute hike to reach a lake that was inaccessible to anyone except our guide- no roads, no boat launches. You literally have to fly in here without the Lodge's resources. It was a tough haul with a couple of engine failures but when we reached the lake the fishing was some of the best sportfishing I have ever experienced in my life. We were going for smallmouth bass and our guide Carter delivered big time. We spent the day on this smaller lake moving around and everywhere we went we nailed them. Amongst our group we caught easily over a hundred fish, with only a couple of baby pike with the rest all smallmouth. Most of them were verging on master's. Although we caught tons of bass we only kept 3 for shore lunch and released the rest. It was one of the best days fishing I've ever had. Carter, our guide, was incredible. He is a very hard working, easygoing, personable young guy who did everything to look after us, including paddling across one of the chain lakes on our way back when the motor failed. He expertly prepared the shore lunch and put us over fish all day. For a young guy he really dealt with all of the challenges and I never felt like he wasn't in control. Other than some logistical issues with motors cacking out, this was a fantastic experience. I'd definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a once in a lifetime fishing experience.
