So my dad and I will be making our 8th trip to the Q, 2nd spring trip. We have a couple of ideas of where we're wanting to go in mind, but I thought I'd poke around for any info on a couple of our possible routes.

One idea is to come in from Clay Lake, through the Wawiag, and into Kawanipi, then onward through the poet lakes (which we've never been to) and out through Sturgeon, Lonely, etc. Main question here is info on Wawiag river - I've searched here, and read some comments made in 2010 about logjams etc and was looking to see if anyone has any input.

Other possibility is to head in at Beaverhouse and hit the chain of unnamed lakes north of Quetico Lake. Curious as to what its like up in there. From there, we'd be going through either familiar territory via Jean - Lonely - Maria; or considering heading north up through Oriana, Hamburg, which we've never been into.

Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas! Oh, and I should add that we're planning for 7 or 8 nights, and have always made a pretty good pace travel wise. Little worried about the early warmth making the black flies a bit miserable, however..
