My dog Jake and I are planning a 6 - 10 day trip ( or so) in the Quetico. We have never explored her before. We prefer smaller more intimate waters as we do travel solo and try to avoid larger lakes in early spring as we have been wind bound before - can be a bummer.
My idea is to cross the border at Ft.Francis, get on hwy 11 and eventually enter #32, Beaverhouse. My plan is to travel southeast into Quetico lake, then south to Fair, Your, Boulder, Jean Creek and, weather permitting, explore Jean, then head back the way we came. However, this is a preliminary plan, noting etched in stone. We are looking for walleye as well as wilderness.
My questions (as I have never been in this area before);
~ Is this a plausible plan - good walleye water?
~ Outside of a longish portage out of Quetico are there any concerns I should be aware of?
I believe Perch Lake Resort (Marr's) on Calm Lake does allow dogs for overnights and is not terribly far from the Beaverhouse put-in.
If anyone has ideas relative to routes that include good walleye fishing I would appreciate it. I think Jean Lake is a pretty sought after area - will I be competing with others for campsites? Looking to be in country the end of the first and second week of June (around the 8th - 18th).
Any help would be appreciated.
