The itinerary - We get an early start on day one; the key is to have camp up by the crack of noon. Then FISH! The guide will prepare the main meal late in the afternoon while you're catching fish in sight of camp. The dinner bell will ring and soon after the delicious dinner is finished, back out you go for the evening bite.
Sigurd Olson called the last rays of the evening light "The Witching Hour". "A swirl, and the fly rod bent, and soon the bass swam in slow circles beside me. A swish of the net and it was inside, its red gills opening and closing, its tail beating a soft tattoo against the bottom of the canoe. Then again the rhythmic moving of the rod, the quiet drifting along the shore." (from The Witching Hour as written in his book Listening Point).
The next morning you'll awake to the sound of perking coffee. Soon followed by a wholesome breakfast. Then out we go! A delicious early afternoon Shorelunch gives everyone a much needed break and again we all hit the water for more exciting action,- we can't miss the "Witching Hour". The final morning, we're up and at it, again to a hot cup of campfire coffee along with another hearty breakfast. We then break camp and when the canoes are fully loaded; we all hop in and fish our way to the predetermined mid-afternoon tow boat pick up point. It's that easy and simple, a fast paced trip with Big Fish opportunities!
