With more than a quarter century of experience serving Ely, MN vacationers, Don Beans and Jasper Creek Guide Service have designed a wide variety of trip options that provides for most vacationer needs; and likewise being a small personal business, Jasper Creek can easily fine tune each trip package to meet all your needs. Every trip is customized to ensure that your visit to the BWCA & Quetico Wilderness is filled with fond memories and fish stories; some true, some maybe not so true. (That's your call!)
Now that you've come this far inside Jasper Creek's web pages, you obviously have the interest in a quality BWCA wilderness trip. Take the time now to pour yourself a mug, and begin to jott down a few notes regarding your needs- 1)... the length of trip, 2)...amount of travel time, 3)... the time of season to visit, 4)...the species of fish targeted, 5)... the style of fishing that you prefer, etc... Then visit these pages in depth with the trip options available, and select the wilderness trip that most closely meets your needs. Then talk to your group and make sure you're all, should I say, "paddling the same canoe." Go ahead and pick-up the phone, or drop Don an e-mail, and he will assist you in tailoring the package to your group's needs.
Can't decide on a trip? Again, contact Don and allow his two decades plus of experience aid you in creating the wilderness vacation that you want. Don't delay - guided trips are limited and reserve quickly. Early reservations are appreciated and are needed to acquire the limited wilderness permits.
The Fernberg Trail Outfitter
Established in 2006. After all the years guiding and outfitting his Jasper Creek trips, Don Beans began offering complete and partial outfitting services to wilderness vacationers. In part due to repeat clientele asking for such services; and with the opening of A Stay Inn Ely; it just made sense to expand into outdoor equipment rental. Again, being a small and personalized business, FTO can tailor a completely outfitted trip to meet your needs.(Make sure to take a look at the 2010 Outfitting Special or the 'Drop camp' option.) Again, don't delay - as with any of these trips, either guided or outfitted, early reservations are preferred and are neccessary to ensure a BWCA and/or a Quetico wilderness permit.
