Sure you can paddle it on your way from Grand Portage to York Factory, but I'm gonna talk about fishing it.

Some of you may know the fall walleye bite there is phenomonal for quantity and concentration of truely lunker fish in a small area.

This weekends work netted us (5 fishermen/2 boats) our limit of 4 good eaters each.  We also had between us...
    ..a 25" 'eye
    ..a 251/2" er that went 7.5 lbs. with a huge belly
    ..a 27"
    ..36" Sturgeon

 ....and believe it or not a 36"+ Walleye that we all had several good looks at next to the boat.  I'm here to tell you this was a record 15 lb.+ 'eye that was lost on my fathers 6 lb mono (Ha!...whats he doing with that stuff!).  Believe it or not...I saw it.  Right in front of the Frontier access in mid-river.  All our fish caught at Clemenson or Frontier on large Rainbows and a pink fireball jig.  Compared to last year...this was slower and a few less monster 'eyes.  Last year saw two 9 lb'ers and a 11 lb.

Here's a pic of sunrise over the river looking upstream from the Frontier access
