Title: Re: ice fishing??

All sarcasm aside, if you are serious about doing an ice fishing trip in the wilderness, there are relatively easily accessible lakes in the BW.  Knife lake has a major dog trail up to and through it so if you can hook up with a team owner and you can pay, they will shuttle you in and out.  It is a great experience with the right gear; i.e. wall tent w/ fireplace, power auger, snow shoes, electronics, sleeping cot, etc..., and the March LT fishing can be nothing short of fantastic.  I think I have probably planned 10 of these type trips and only 2 have materialized, mostly due to weather, snow and/or dog conditions.  There are also several opportunities up the Skinflint Trail area.

Of course, if you can afford to fly-in, that would be the ticket.  If I could, I'd be on Jean Lake as soon as possible.
