He daytripped from north Sturgeon. Said he paddled the creek as far in as usual then found the trail with blowdown on it. The fishing was worth it.

Going in from Lonely Lk looks easier on the map than thru North Sturgeon?

I'll have to remember this and in the future, if I become more of a base camper, look into going in from the Lonely side?

They were camped on Sturgeon and went into Lonely then into the ponds for a day trip. Grab a copy of the journal, it’s a good one.

Hey ST,

YOU even get “referenced” in this issue re: sagely advice that you provided.   Just an FYI.

Jimbo  Cool

ST,

You can probably pick up a copy at Barnes and Noble. Before you do that, let me see if I can’t fix you up with what you’re looking for. I’ll shoot you a PM regarding what I can do.

Jimbo. Cool

...Snip....My next big step in the right direction will be to take 20-25 lbs out of my typical portage load in future trips. It's fairly plain that's a big problem for me ("overpacking") so I'm working hard to fix it....Snip....


Jimbo, you could start by leaving the 10 lb bag of potatoes at home....After seeing your loads this past summer, you may want to consider removing 40-45 pounds from your typical portage load....then you'd be in Magic's neighborhood.... Cheesy   ....just kidding....

I really like the bear vault 500 and an Ursack. The dog food goes in the ursack and when empty it folds up into the flap pocket on my pack. The BV doubles as a table or stool.

Reading more of Stu’s guiding trip reports has me fired up. The stories of fishing Lonely Ponds and Antoine are what I dream of. Exciting stuff. I had planned on checking out Lonely Ponds this September but didn’t go on the water during my layover day there bc of wind and I was just plain tired. Where does Stu get the energy?

The unnamed lakes northeast of Lonely have been in my sights for a few years. I need to subscribe to BWJ, that article definitely would be great (and many others) to read. I imagine the "Lonely ponds" get visited very little, and I'm appealed by getting back in there, possibly more than just a day trip. Another set of unnamed lakes I've thought about venturing into are the three north of Quetico lake.

I've been to Antoine once, and the fishing definitely was good! I will say though that the portages into and out of there were quite a tough go, lots of elevation!
