I have done the Missinaibi twice, from Missinaibi Lake to Moose River Crossing. In thirty years of canoe tripping, they were far and away the best trips I have ever been on. :D

Mad_Mat has found the best guide book that I  know of. (Missinaibi – Journey to the  Northern Sky by Hap Wilson) This book is complete with everything  you need to know, with the exception of GPS coordinates. It covers from Lake Superior to James Bay. It’s about $13 on Amazon.com and can save you $$$$ on topo maps. It’s also a small price for your life, as the Canadian topo (12years ago) had a portage marked on the wrong side above Thunderhouse Falls. I’m a hardcore kayaker and looking down on this rapid almost made me wet my pants, but not from excitement. The stories are horrible but true. There were several drowning a few weeks before our trip. :o

We used Missinaibi Outfitters in Mattice to take care of the logistics. Highly recommended, and so easy to work with over a telephone. They have a web site also.

Hey! Mad_Mat have a safe trip. I’m jealous of ya.
