Anyone ever gone on a fly in fishing trip?

[AlwaysGoneFishing]

Wanted to take a week or 2 off in the summer and get flown in on a float plane to one of these remote cabins in northern ontario. I've looked at a few places online that rent out cabins but can anyone recommend a business from personal experience?

shoulda went to the fishing shows...there were tons of lodges there!

I will be working as a sous chef and a guide at one north of Wawa in the summer. I dont want to plug them because I personally know very little about the lodge but if you go to the WFN website they have a list of reputable lodges and fly in destinations.

if you dont mind a bit more distance check out north quebec's www.creetourism.ca areas
did a fly in many years ago with my uncle and some of his friends and it was legendary. been meaning to go back for a while now
friendly people and decent lodgings. can go solo or guided

nothing beats finding your own spot imo, but if you just want the relaxing 2 weeks in a lodge and catching worthy fish all day cant go wrong

this is the one id go to if i was planning a trip anytime soon
unless someone else here post some nice hidden gem

obv its a huge area so your mileage may vary

I can't speak from personal experience as I've never taken a fly-in or tain-in trip. But I've heard a lot of good things about the train in trips, pretty affordable compared to fly in. I could be totally wrong, but it seems like a great idea, get to see nature on the trip to your lodge, and then fish almost untouched waters.

hmmm, I always wanted to go, but most likely I will try it this year, if the funds permit it, but JEFFSIMMS mentioned a trin in trip, that I wouldn't mind going, first is cost effective second it will be a lot more enjoyable and less stress than driving for like 10 hrs. IMO. but fishing in almost untouched waters will be brilliant and I should say more productive.

Another add on to my post is that the Algoma region of Ontario is becoming increasignly popular as a train/fly/drive in location.

 

[JeffSimms]

Is it over pressured In Algoma region then? I've never gone but I've researched it a bit, the species options look pretty good.

Think Nakina!!!

It is beginning to become more and more popular but you are pretty unlikely to see another angler...

thanks to alot of fishing shows that mention the county all the time, yeah, maybe its gonna get pressured soon enough

My 2 cents. Temagami. Lakeland Airways. I haven't used them for a number of years but they are still in operation from what I hear.
They will put you on Pike, Bass, Lakers, 'eyes, or what you want.

Funny story, my dad and 3 uncles went on a fly in fishing trip for pike and walleye in Northern Ontario.. They drove 6 hours to a small lake to catch a plane to take them to another lake.. While they waited for the plane they fished off the dock and caught a pike on nearly every cast... it was crazy good fishing. they flew off to the lake, got about 10 fish in 5 days, the fishing sucked.. they caught more in an hour waiting for the plane then they did in 5 days on this remote lake....but they had fun..

It goes like that at times. We flew into a lake in the Elliot Lake area for Pike. We fished all day, trolling, casting at dead-fall and weed-lines. Got nothing, but when we got back to the dock at nite we got them like 90 from our dock.
