Enjoy. Curious to know why you will be spending so many consecutive nights at each lake as opposed to spending 2-3 nights on dozens of different lakes?
Mainly for exploration and good fishing!
For a trip of this scale I would imagine moving camp frequently could become pretty exhausting and weather setbacks could throw off the whole itinerary. And psychologically it will profeel nice having a home with stashed firewood, well-built shelter etc. When I think about 4 months in the backcountry, I think the most challenging part for me would be the mental side of things and having a predictable routine with a few home bases seems like it would really help
Good luck on your journey. I have a feeling 2024 will be the first year we get 125 days of straight sunshine and no wind stronger than 10km/hr 
Thanks! I should have said that even though these lakes are counter clockwise (personally means going back in time) from Opeongo, they are also some of my favourite fishing lakes with the species of fish still in season when I am camping there...i.e. Billy...splake lake and in season all year in Zone 15. Also even though I have had a passion for Algonquin since my first interior trip by rail train cart to Radiant Station where a CNR work crew was stationed and I slept in a caboose at 8 years old and fished many trout waters in the area , over the course of the next 66 years these lakes I really haven't camped on even though I have started at least one interior canoe trip from all 29+ access points to lakes really in the interior...these lakes were the starting point of many fantastic and memorable canoe trips and now is the time I am going to pay them homage for what they have given me. Also, this epic historic journey is dedicated to my dad who introduced me.to the greatest Park in the whole wide world.
