Combine one of the finest winter routes in the BWCAW with ice fishing on two renowned fishing lakes. Mush your own team of dogs for three days. The Fisherman's Classic circuit includes a fantastic wilderness route through marshes, small lakes, boreal forests and fun filled portage trails en route to some remote fishing spots. Follow the tracks of snowshoe hare, fox and moose as they crisscross the white landscape. Camp in a secluded bay of a far away lake. Learn to ice fish. Experience the thrill of pulling in a fish on a tip-up line. At night, enjoy dinner around a crackling fire and under the starry night sky. Listen for the howl of the lone wolf answered by our family of sled dogs. Expect to both travel every day and fish every day. This well-balanced trip insures you'll get your fill of both adventurous dog sledding and ice fishing.

• 3 days dog sledding (2 nights in a lodge, 2 nights camping) • Premiere style (you drive your own sled for the entire trip) • Explore the pristine Boundary Waters wilderness area by dog team • Learn winter camping and ice fishing skills • No previous dogsledding or fishing experience needed • Physically active and adventurous trip

Our guides see to it that you learn not only to mush, but also to winter camp comfortably. All winter camping equipment is provided. Parka, wind pants, and winter boots are available for rent. All fishing gear is provided. You will need to bring a current MN fishing license. Note that lake travel in the wilderness changes day to day in the winter. Our final route will adapt to the conditions, intent on fishing two different lakes on our tour. Typical routes include some combination of Knife, Kekekabic, Fraser and Thomas lakes.

Join one of our trips on the schedule, or contact us with your dates and we can design a trip just for your group. Custom trips can be arranged premier or traditional style. The best time to go is mid-February through the end of March. Ice fishing season here runs Jan 15-Feb 28 for most fish, and Jan 15-March 31 for Lake Trout.
