08/19/2006 12:20PM Thanks for all the advice. Based on the responses, I think we'll set 8 days as the minimum and anything we can get to work out beyond that will just be bonus time. Thanks Again, Outdoors |

08/18/2006 12:56PM oshegon1, Wow! Two 35-40 day trips a year? What do you do when you're not traipsing around Quetico? I want to be just like you when I grow up! LOL Snakecharmer |

08/17/2006 06:26PM I agree with snakecharmer- but then again I always feel rushed on canoe trips- they're just never quite long enough, and in hind sight you always wish you could have fished areas a little longer or differently.I say no less that 8 days on a Quetico trip. |

08/17/2006 01:13PM Our group of six did a loop starting at Beaverhouse Lake and exiting through the Maligne River into LLC. It was a wonderful trip with great fishing and alot of alone time. We did it in eight days and I felt rushed. Ten or eleven days might have been about right for our group on that trip. It would have allowed us to spend more time in a couple of areas we could only really pass through due to the limited amount of time we had and the distance we had to cover. Snakecharmer |

08/17/2006 07:10AM Any amount of time is great, But I think a Quetico trip should be a minimum of 7 days and hopefully more than that. Hard for me to set a perfect time. I could say 10 days but 14 would be better, 17 better yet on and on and on. I guess my answer is May 1 to November 1 would be long enough assuming I could get resupplied often enough for food and get my canoes on and off the water when it was not frozen over. |

08/16/2006 08:44PM outdoors4me, Last summer we did an 11 day Quetico trip...very nice, we had 3 layover campsites where we could really fish. In years past we have taken 14 day trips...from Nyme to Prairie Portage...lots of traveling. When you take a really long trip like 14 days , you take a lot of food....but have a great time and get a real feel of the country....you can check out our trip report from last summer by going to http://www.bwca.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=trip.report_view&sel_trp_id=361 |

08/16/2006 08:36PM We are planning our 1st trip into Quetico for next spring and would like to find good walleye fishing and solitude. Any advice as to how long of a trip we should plan so that we don't have to feel rushed? We normally do a couple of 5 day trips a year to the BWCA but I'm thinking we will want more time than that in the Quetico. How long do you guys and gals normally go for? Thanks |
