Wilderness Canoe Trip Proves To Be a High Value Experience!

Last week Kick’n Bass Guide Service clients camped & fished in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of Northern Minnesota and the Quetico Provincial Park in Southern Ontario, Canada.
 
Seeing first timers absorb themselves and become one with the wilderness was especially satisfying.  The fishing, scenery, wildlife and fellowship was terrific.  Our group witnessed Deer, Eagles, Beaver and many species of ducks comfortable in their everyday environment.   

Our group base camped on an island campsite in the heart of the wilderness that was better than anything we could have imagined … with great fishing just a cast away.  For those of you who follow my fishing reports know I’m not into reporting numbers but I’ll make an exception by saying that our group caught over 600 quality fish. Smallmouth Bass made up the bulk of the catch with enough Northern Pike and walleye to keep things interesting.  Top water action, early and late, produced several monster Smallmouth Bass & Northern Pike while walleye provided delicious shore lunches.  Fishing was especially good on cloudy days and on an overcast afternoon all species bit non-stop in the pools below Curtain Falls.
 
Another highlight of the trip was the food.  Whether it was the beef filets or pork tenderloin cooked over an open fire or blueberry pancakes … EVERYTHING tasted better in the Northwoods!

Here’s what a couple of our clients had to say about their trip … 

Randy,
I have used the phrase "experience of a lifetime" before, but our BWCA / Quetico wilderness adventure trip redefined this for me. If someone's idea of a wilderness adventure is eating freeze dried food, sleeping on the cold hard ground in a leaky tent, and the hardships that comes from the lack of modern convenience, then this trip is not for them. If they are searching for a trip that includes: meticulous trip pre-planning and preparation, a beautiful campsite, 5 star menu, comfortable sleeping accommodations, awe inspiring wilderness beauty, and throw in great fishing as a kicker, then this is the trip for them. I want to thank you for providing the opportunity for me to share this experience with my 74 year old father, and other good friends, which now includes you and Clyde. The lord willing, this will not be my last opportunity to express my appreciating for Kick'n Bass Guide Service.

I had a feeling that I’d have a great time with my father in BWCA / Quetico Provincial Park since we’d been on canoe trips before and always had a good time.  But, this trip was beyond anything I expected.  Breathtaking views, great fishing, and amazing food are just a few reasons that I can't wait to go back.  This was the best camping experience of my life by a long shot.  In fact, I'm not sure how it could be any better.  Most people go on these trips and their best food is freeze dried, trail mix or beef jerky.  Randy and Clyde made sure we didn't go hungry.  Beef filet mignon, a shore lunch of fried walleye within 3 hours of being caught, and pork tenderloin cooked over an open fire were just a few of the top notch menu items.  They also made sure we were comfortable at all times, even being in the remote wilderness.  I joked around about feeling like I was in a four bedroom condo the whole week.  But, that's just what it felt like.  With the top of the line equipment we were provided I slept better, if not as well as I do at home.  The fishing was also better than anything I have ever experienced.  I caught 3 of the biggest smallies of my life with two over 20 inches and one right at 21.  I knew I would have fun, but the memories I made with the group are unforgettable.  The best part is that I got to share them with my father.  If you're reading this, you have to find a way to make this trip happen.  Kick N' Bass will take it far and beyond anything you could ever imagine.
