I really got into trolling. Caught a 29" and 2 X 28". Truly gorgeous and wonderful place. Fly-in is the only way to go.

No offense, and they are fun to catch, but I could care less if ever caught another pike. My largest pike ever is 35" and one followed a spinnerbait up this trip that I swear was as long and thick as my leg. They are far from favorite fish to catch though.

One lake we fish, I can catch 200+ smallies a day, guarantee it. they average about 1 to 1-1/2 lbs but it is loaded. You will almost never see anyone there either. I fished it 2 years ago by myself and it is unbelievable how many smallies are in it and it is a fairly large lake.

I have never flown in, may do it one day, but we have always either carried canoes or pulled a boat.
