I've looked at Cedar/Catfish/Nip in the past. Maybe this will be the year I do it!

Jdbonney - you'r first suggestion is a little close to what I did last year. Stayed a couple nights on Timberwolf and was in that area, so I'd like to try a different access point.

Hi Friends,

I've reached out for advice in the past and it's been a great help in planning our trips, so I'm back again! Recent past trips: Rock/Welcome/Louisa Loop and the Magnetewan/Ralph Bice/Misty/Timberwolf/Petewawa Loop. My girlfriend and I are looking at 5-7 days in a similar type trip, perhaps with 2 or 3 nights on the same site, preferably on a remote private lake. Ideally we would avoid large open lakes. As always, great fishing and the chance to see lots of wildlife is what we are after.

I look forward to hearing all of your suggestions. Thanks in advance to all the wonderful people on this forum!

Great suggestions all round! That route Martin suggested looks like a great one, I've looked at doing that route in the past, I too enjoyed your trip report. However, I've decided on Magnetawan access. First night Little Trout, then Shah, Timberwolf for 2 nights, then Little Misty, Daisy and out. Giving ourselves tones of time to relax and enjoy the trip. Thanks for the input everyone! Let me know if you have any tips or stories about this specific route!

Hi everyone,

Looking to plan a 4-5 day trip for my girlfriend and I. Last year we did the Rock, Welcome, Lousia loop. Looking for a similar trip this year. Ideally we would like something without big open water to make the days a little easier (not that the Welcome loop was bad for that), somewhere remote, and a good site to spend a couple nights at this time. I had been looking at some Nippissing river / Tim Lake area. Anyone have some suggestions?

My friend is one of the founders of this company. I've tested it out and absolutely love it. It opens and closes very easily and is very lightweight/compact for backcountry camping. I highly recommend it!

Thought I would share that Algonquin Outfitters has posted the winners of the 2015 Photo Contest here. Are any of the winners members of the AA community? This makes me excited for the Trip log contest results, any updates there Barry?

Thanks for the tips everyone, lots of great advice.

Just in response to MartinG - Of course I don't expect anyone to give way their favourite fishing spots, and to be honest, fishing is a secondary aspect of a trip for me. Mostly what I was looking for was advice on sites, routes and portages and to see if anyone had some favorite spring routes. Just to reiterate, I'm not planning on over fishing or stealing anyone's favourtie spot! Sorry if the topic of the post was misleading.

I'm thinking of doing a loop this spring. Enter at Tim, go to big bob, take the Nip to loontail, then down to Rosebary then back to Tim and out. I'm thinking of spending a couple nights at the site at Nip/loontail/hiah lake. Anyone have any thoughts on this site or route? I'd really like to be able to spend multiple nights in one place, usually I move camp every night and that can get a little tiring.
