Thank you again for a great trip!
Guys and Gals, I wanted to thank you again for a great trip. Fishing was a tad slow, but the memories I made with my son more than made up for it. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, fish every night for dinner and beautiful scenery.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for providing Jordan and me with a great wilderness experience. Sorry I missed saying goodbye to you.

One of the greatest experiences of our life
Mark,
Wanted to say thanks for setting the 4 of us up with one of the greatest experiences of our life. I’ve attached a photo of two toad smallies caught on June 5.
Thanks again. If we ever come back, it’ll be with Anderson’s. Overall it was an excellent experience. We can’t wait to get back up there.

BWCAW Fishing Success!
Mark,
Thank you again for helping make our annual trip to the BWCA a success. Attached are the pictures of the Monster Crappie we caught. The big one was 14” and had a 11.375” girth on it. It was a pig. The other one was 13” long. Great fishing and great time had by all in the BW. See you next year.
Sincerely,
Nathan Rohrer

BWCA Fishing report from 21-25 MAY 2012
A low pressure system was sitting above us the entire time we were fishing, pressure was dropping steady from 29.9 to 29.2 over a 4 day period. Fish were still biting though. My goal this year was to catch a 40 plus in pike as years prior my 21 in small mouth gave be good bragging rights for a few years. So there I was, fishing pike with a heavy action rod while working spoons really slow. I got a hit from what seemed like a decent fish and as I was reeling it in I noticed that it was a small mouth. It wasn’t until I saw that beast swim broad side to really take note on how monstrous it was. I immediately began to freak-out and pray that I get a picture with this girl. I managed to boat her and took a lot of pictures of course. She was an astonishing 23.5 in around 8 lbs per the fishing length to weight charts. She made all the paddling and crappy weather a worthwhile trip.
Thanks.

Pagami Creek Fire
Just east of Ely Minnesota the Pagami Creek fire was first noticed August 26th. 2011. After month’s of fire fighting the crews finally got it contained. This was the largest recorded fire in the State of Minnesota’s history. The summer/fall of 2011 was its driest in 140 years. If you were to put Minneapolis, St. Paul and another city the size of Minneapolis all together, it would be the size of the Pagami Creek Fire. This was very unfortunate that all this devastation happened in the pristine wilderness of the BWCAW. Due to the Pagami Creek fire many entry points and campsites have been shut down in the area. With these closures people are making reservations at different entry points.
This will make it difficult to obtain a permit through the summer of 2012. The USFS will reopen these areas once they know its safe for the public to travel. The Western entries of the BWCAW are 50 to 60 miles away from the Pagami Creek
Fire zone. To get more information on the western entries please give us a call or email to Anderson Canoe Outfitters.
