I have a little, and I do mean a little, interest in maybe trying to bushwhack into a few unnamed lakes where there doesn't appear to be trails on the maps. I just thought it would be nice to find a small lake, virtually untapped for fishing, in which you would almost be guaranteed to not see another soul as long as you wanted to stay in there. Obviously I don't want to bushwhack into a lake and find it's just a big swamp, or drag all my gear through the woods only to realize there is no reasonable option for a place to pitch a tent, so I thought I'd ask you folks about your experiences with bushwhacking. First, what are the characteristics of an "off the trail" lake that perk your interest for a bushwhack? Size of lake? Ground route distance? Rumor or inside information? Shortcut to other lakes? How about when you start a bushwhack? What kind of navigation tips can you offer as where to start your bushwhack, how you keep from getting lost, and what kind of terrain, obstacles or hardships have you faced in the middle of a bushwhack? Thanks for sharing your experiences bushwhackers, because my hat is off to you for your toughness and adventurous spirits.
