Thats one huge walleye !!! Biggest I have seen or heard of in these parts. That smile is also on the large size...with good reason.

There are a number of good laker spots - Adventure, Broken Arrow, Upper Kilburn, Bulging, Haggart, Aegean...to name a few.  I once hit Adventure on one of those "every other cast" days. It was about 2 weeks after ice out - sunny day, a  small breeze, black flies were just starting to introduce themselves...it was great !

Now you want to mix that with seeing a caribou...well that's a little harder to guarantee. Within the next 4 weeks caribou will be calving, so it is a sensitive time for them.  Traditionally the south end of the park has been the best bet for running into a caribou and as luck would have it that is where the most of the lake trout lakes are located. A 5 - 10 day trip would take you on a tour of great lake trout lakes and will also allow you a fair chance of bumping into a caribou. I'm only saying fair because it is a sensitive time as I mentioned and they are the most secretive at this time. One wrong move and the cows have put their calf in jeopardy.  Quiet travelling, close to shore will tend to hind you from animals on the other side, as opposed to travelling down the middle of the lake and standing out a bit more. So which shore to paddle - thats a flip of the coin!
