A longtime friend of mine the gal that cuts my hair asked me about doing a canoe trip?

She and her husband are outdoors people.
They both bow hunt and I know he's a big fishing guy too.

  They are NOT canoeist so I recommended that being Newbies they go through a US outfitter, get the complete outfitting package and go into the BW to see how they like it?

  I know nothing about the ELY based or close outfitters. So based on personal experience what would you guys say are the top choices?

I'm looking for maybe 2-4 good picks?

I'll take that advice and highlight them in an old BWJ and give it to her.

  Price isn't a deciding issue for them as they both own their very successful small business. Quality of service is what they are looking for IF they decide to take a trip?
