Porterme-

I've paddled this route often, it is absolutely beautiful and offers good fishing through the entire circle. Should not be too tough for 45 year old first-timers unless you go gear crazy and have to triple portage. The first day or so is the most difficult, lots of portages not much paddling. Toughest portages are from Side to Sarah, the 2nd portage from Joyce to Kahshahpiwi, and the portage out of the south end of Kahshahpiwi if the beaver dam is still blown. It is a rugged route, if you don't rush and travel light it is a comfortable ten day trip with at least one if not two or three layover opportunities.

Fishing: Lakers on north end of Sarah, east end of Brent, all of Kahshahpiwi & McIntyre.

Bass on Sarah and Kahsh Shores, West Brent, anywhere on the Dark(y) River.

Of course Brent has every type of fish in size and occasional abundance.

Walleyes everywhere, but harder to fool on the clearer lakes.

DD- getting dropped at Lincoln will you head through Nest or North Bay?
