Guided Fishing Trips
Wilderness fishing, for many this is why they come to Ely and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area - and with good reason. The Boundary Waters has some of the best fishing in the United States! The cool, clean water here is teeming with just right "eaters" as well as trophy size specimens. From surface busting Smallmouth to Northern Pike, Lake Trout and the tastiest Walleye, the Boundary Waters is an anglers paradise. Now, how do you get in, find the right lake, and get on that fishing hole? The best way - With a Guide!

A guided canoe trip is the most "sure-fire" way to enjoy the wilderness and improve your fishing success. Wake early to a steaming cup of coffee, prepared by your guide, before heading out to a morning of fishing. Take a break and have breakfast or, if it's lunch or dinner time, enjoy one of our gourmet fish recipes. (Not only do you get the hard to beat "fresh in the pan" fish fry but also some of our other specialties such as Baked Lake Trout or Fish Chowder.) After filling your gullet, you can hit the water for more angling, sit around the campfire or, if it's early in the day, pack up and head to the next destination. It's all up to you.

Guided Wilderness Adventures
For many Boundary Waters vacationers, fishing is only half of the reason for visiting this vast wilderness area. Adventure and exploration or rest and relaxation are what many visitors are seeking. Well, not only does a guide show you where and how to fish, he also enhances your overall wilderness experience. Your guide is there to help make camp, cook delectable meals over the fire, reveal points of interest easily missed by the passing canoeist, and provide insight to the dramatic history of the area. Along the way you will learn many "tips and tricks" to use when you're out canoeing and camping in the Northwoods. A guided trip is the best way to see and experience the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Quetico Provincial Park.

Whether you're a beginner or an advanced fly-fisherman we will put a trip together designed around your abilities and the type of fish you are after.
Spring Lakers The spring time is the best time for Lake Trout. In May these Northwoods natives are shallow and more accessible than any other time of the season. If Lake Trout are what you want, this is the time to come.
