Portage from McDougall to Keats can be a real challenge.  Very steep drop on the Keats side as I recall.  McDougall fishing is spot on for smallies.

You'll get a sore neck just looking UP at this portage from the Keats side. Easily one of the steepest portages in Quetico. In wet conditions it could be a disaster as there was very little, if any "winding/snaking" to the trail... just STRAIGHT UP.  Even "hand hold saplings" were missing (probably uprooted by desperate portagers in free fall).  Anyway, more power to anyone who survives it; I take my hat off to you ( I generally DO at funerals).
