I am putting in at Beaverhouse with my wife on September 3 for 9 days.  The fire ban has just been lifted so there shouldn't be any bugs.  This will be my 46 trip into Quetico.  The third for this year.  The goal is to see how many northerns and trout over 30 inches we can catch.  We may catch a few walleyes for dinner.  We generally catch more northerns over 30 inches than we do trout.

Busy with life I suppose!

I keep intending on sitting down at the computer and submitting some pics... I'll make more of an effort to do so!

Heading north in about a month. Normally aim for last half of September, work and a class I'm going to necessitates a first week of October trip. Planning on flying to Cache bay and coming up through the falls chain, Kawinipi, and from there probably Russell, Sturgeon, Lonely, up to Pickerel and out at Stanton.

Other thought was to head west and try to finally make Camel lake. Hesitation there is time, as we're planning for eight nights in park, as well as the aspect of trying to make it through cutty creek etc.

Alternatively, may just go in Beaverhouse, head down to Badwater, and over to Bentpine and up to Jean, then east or down to Sturgeon. As we know, lots of options, only so much time!

Noticed that although there is currently no fire ban, there are restrictions on travel in the area of Russell and the narrows into Sturgeon (Maligne river). Fire area about 2600 hectares in size north of Russell, covering an area to the north and east up to Fern, as well as north shore of Alice. Quite close to one of my favorite sites on Russell, on a south facing point just east of the islands at the outflow of the Maligne. Hopefully doesn't burn through the site.

Looking forward to another trip regardless of where we end up!

damn!  that fire looks like its taken out Bonhomme and Sauvage portages - hope they try to keep those open and not abandon them.

I'm paying attention to the fire as well. Was planning on going to Buckingham in May next year and hoping the lake area isn't burned. The weather hasn't been too conducive to burning lately and there is moisture in the forecast for the next few days. We're going in at Nym next Friday for 8 nights down to Jesse and Draper and also hoping it isn't too smoky...
