You've got a great week planned; lots of fantastic fishing opportunities. Have you considered canoes? This route really is perfect for them. Easy to fish from and easier to portage than kayaks. They rent them in rock harbor with portage yokes.

Re: Bug Situation

The pesky critters are just getting their year started. Along Superior and in open areas, it's usually not bad, but go inland and it could be another story.

I've done trips in remote areas of Canada where you're dropped off by float plane and it's 2...

Re: Fish Pictures from June Trip
