Algonquin Question

[Snaggy]

Hi guys,

Going on a camping trip into Algonquin in late April early May. We are going from Rock-Penn-Welcome and staying three nights on Welcome Lake. The main objective of the trip is obviously fishing, so I was just wondering what your opinions are about bringing both a spinning and fly fishing outfit. I don't have sinking fly line either.
The reason why I ask is because I obviously want to pack light, so if the fly rod is unnecessary I will leave it at home.

Thanks!

We always start our portage from Brent.
I will never tell you our spec spot..
But..
Meps, panther Martin ,black blade size zero.
Can't go wrong.
Sundown you can see the specs surfacing.
Not a fly guy myself but can see how a fly would be successful also.
Enjoy. Wild life alone amazing.
Lots moose and black bear.
weather changes constant.
Hot sun one minute pouring rain the next.
Rain gear a must.

Oh yea.
I don't know how many are in your party.
But a trip in like that make sure at least one of you brings a back up rod and reel.
Shite happens.

I've done that area before for specs. What ya wanna know?

I'd say bring the fly rod as well. It wont be much more of a problem. Specs aren't deep in the Spring.

No they arent. Lakers near the top too.
Bring the fly rod.
