Well, here's the deal. Later this summer, I have some cousins coming up to visit me from TN / NC, and they are hell-bent on seeing the BWCA. They are all in their 30's, avid outdoors-men, and two are experienced paddlers, but the only problem is we only have four days to work with (six with travel from Minneapolis).

I spent a few weeks browsing QJ and other websites, and browsing the McKenzie maps for ideas, and I settled on EP #16, the Moose River going north into the Nina Moose, Ram's Head, and Agnes area. I figured it would expose my cousins to a pretty good variety of BWCA terrain, fishing opportunities, and wildlife. I hear it's a fairly popular entry point, but I told them not to expect total solitude with only four days to work with.

We plan to base camp somewhere in that area, and spend most of the time fishing. Nobody really has a species preference, but I would like to try for lakers if they're around. Do any of the lakes between Nina Moose and LLC have lake trout in them? Also, we are tentatively planning on base camping on Agnes. Anyone with experience in that area have any suggestions?
