Outing Details: This is a primitive camping trip. We’ll be using Zups Canoe Outfitters. Fishing will be from canoes using 5 to 8 wt. rods with appropriate smallmouth flies. Might also hook walleye and pike. Level 1 ability is sufficient. Some canoe and camping skill is desirable. No portaging involved unless you choose to venture to some remote site off the main lake. All necessary gear for camping and cooking will be provided by the outfitter as will the food. Bring an air mattress. A “Life Straw” or some other form of individual water filtration device is strongly recommended. Recommend you bring your own life preserver; outfitter’s PFDs are adequate but basic.
