Again the Northwoods beckons the adventurous canoe tripper just as it did during the Springtime season. The autumn colors are a sight to behold. Combine the breathtaking beauty of a lake country autumn with the possible wildlife sightings and great angling opportunities, and your trip will leave you with unforgettable memories. Superb angling can still be found on select wilderness lakes. Lake trout are easily brought to the net as they move to shallower waters preparing for the October spawn. Jig and rigging a variety of artificial lures and live bait in and around currents for walleyes will keep your rods dancing and your campfire skillet full. Lunker northern pike also move shallow and lurk near the dying weedbeds and drop- offs along rocky points; and they are very eager to strike. We take our share of these big snaggle toothed pike during these waning days. Schools of hungry smallmouth bass, many are true trophies of twenty inch plus; can be found congregating in open water off  the submerged reefs, gorging themselves on schooling baitfish. Believe me, the Northwoods Autumn is a FUNtastic time!

An Autumn Trip package can partake in Canada's Quetico Park. Certain rules and regulations apply, but very easy to do. A remote trip into Quetico Park at the peak of Autumn color will leave all of you with memories to last a lifetime. The lake trout fishing can be awesome! The 'Scenic Paddle' Trip with lake trout fishing along the way would be the best option for an Autumn Quetico Adventure! 

... the Scenic Paddle Trip (3 day/2 night minimum trip length) * FUN TRIP!*

Available Sunday, September 5 thru Saturday, October 23, 2010

Autumn is the perfect season to travel deep into the lake country. A circular trip is planned with emphasis on the wonders found during a Northwoods autumn. Secluded lakes will be explored, where the resident fish, especially lake trout, have seldom seen a lure. Shorelines are quietly paddled with all eyes anticipating a moose browsing among the beaked hazel thickets, or perhaps, a white-tailed buck, his antlers still cloaked in velvet, ever alert and watching, as it crosses a beaver dam. A tranquil bay might be home to a blue heron or two, a family of otters, or a busy beaver working on it's lodge, preparing for the upcoming winter.

Scenic travel trips can range from fairly easy to moderately rugged but, keep in mind; they are designed with you and your group's abilities. Trip routes are agreed upon by all party members. The pace will be set by all of you with fun, relaxation, and memories being the goals. The itinerary on this classic camping trip is traveling and sightseeing the BWCA/ Quetico wildernesses. Fishing is a secondary activity with this trip option; but there will be plenty of angling opportunities.

Wilderness Basecamps

TROUT CAMP (5 day/ 4 night minimum trip length) * FUN TRIP!*

Available Sunday, September 12 thru Friday, October 1, 2010

Sit back and imagine yourself camping on a secluded wilderness lake. The pristine water and the sky are colored the same deep blue. The hillsides around you are painted a riot of reds, yellows, purples, and oranges. You're seated in a canoe, drifting with the breeze and you just happen to glance up and see a bald eagle soaring amidst cottony clouds. Of course, you can't watch for very long because you're too busy trying to turn a big lake trout towards the net. The fish digs deep, the fight is on and you're having the time of your life!

With this option, Jasper Creek Guide Service, Inc. will paddle and portage you and your group into the wilderness to various backwoods deep water lakes that harbor these colorful denizens of the deep. These completely outfitted trips are laid back and enjoyable. The time of year is perfect, and once you taste a cold water laker that has been baked over glowing alder coals, stuffed with onions and trimmed with baked beans and garlic bread- you will know why we set aside this last of September for TROUT CAMP. We also enjoy some fantastic walleye action, and if you prefer to bring a shotgun; we have some sporty wingshooting for the ruffed grouse.

Fall'EYES  (3 day/ 2 night minimum trip length)  * FUN TRIP!*

Available Sunday, September 5 thru Saturday, October 23, 2010

You should have guessed this one. This trip was coined from a newspaper article written in 2005 about Don's guide service and the great walleye fishing in September. This autumn fishing trip is spent searching for gold- Walleye Gold. Over the years,  Jasper Creek guides have learned of several select BWCA lakes that have great angling for these tasty gamefish and are perfect for autumn trips. Once the camp is set up, you'll be launching the canoes and dipping your paddles with anticipation building. A thermos of piping hot coffee and a bucket of three inch minnows  sits between your legs as the bow slices across the chop bearing directly to the fishin' hole. Upon reaching the secret spot, you and your buddy, seated in the bow,  race to who can hook a lively shiner on the jig and get it in the water first. You watch your line as the jig sinks to the bottom and before it reaches the boulders below, it stops and the line moves to the left. A quick spin of the reel to take in the slack and you slam the hook home. The solid tug on the other end feels good and soon a fat sixteen inch walleye is at the surface. You glance towards your partner as you reach for the net and to your surprise, he has it in his left hand and is lifting a walleye, a match to your catch, out of the water. A wide grin adorns his face.  Boy, life is tough!

... "Depending on when this trip is reserved, we can even get into some lake trout angling; but for sure we will spend some time casting for trophy northern pike, and maybe even find some sunfish and crappies- but prospecting for walleye gold rules on this excursion." 

Back at camp, you and your buddies will be standing on the greenstone ledgerock, taking in the scene- the  mirage of colors on the lakeshore and ridges, deep blue waters reflecting the clouds; and in your hands is a dented tin plate piled high with golden walleye fillets and crispy hashbrowns and onions. "Oh, yes, life is tough!"
