Algonquin Adventures / 7 day fishing loop return

**Posted by Markus** 5/20/2018 2:16 pm

Just returned from a 7 day 4 person trip.
Having needed an extra canoe, we decided to try Algonquin Basecamp.
I can't say enough good things about Chris and Andrew.
We booked the canoe a few months ago, and kept changing the dates like everyone else with the late thaw. Chris kept us informed and up to date as often as we bothered him. We barely had to lift a finger when we picked up the canoe, and despite a late return, they accommodated us beyond expectation.

I would recommend them to anyone.

The trip started at Magnetawan and we did Hambone, Little Trout, Bice, Queer, Tim River, Shippagew, Longer, Redpine, Longer, White Trout, Big Trout, McIntosh Creek, Otterslide, Timberwolf, Misty (where the permitless partiers started their long weekend), Muslim, Juan, Wenona, Bandit, Sawyer and exited at Rain.

We kept 6 Brook Trout for 2 meals and released several more. Also ate a small 3lb Laker and released several more including 2 ten plus lbs.

- 2 moose
- 4 otters
- 1,372 Loons
- 1 Pine Martin
- 43 frogs
- 3 black flies
- 2 mosquitos

Nice!
I have also had AMAZING experiences with Algonquin Basecamp. I can't say enough good things about them. They have gone above and beyond in customer service!

What days were you in the Park? I did a 6-day loop May 12 to 18 through Cedar Lake and the fishing was very slow.

Hahaha, ya no kidding. That one slipped away. Weather was terrible, had high winds and rain. Didn't quite stay as long as expected. Didn't fish much due to weather, but did manage much smaller Brookies, however they were set up a bit better than where they were the week previous.. They were a little more predictable, but much smaller. No lakers - didn't target them.
