For Joe Bucher spending 3 weeks a year taping his musky segments for his show on Wabigoon, there was not one show that made me go OMG I have to go to this lake (I surely miss his Vilas Cty musky segments). I think for shear numbers and size you cannot beat parts of LOTW.

I think I should have been a little more detailed in my response above. The reason I like flyin outposts is the remoteness. If I were to choose a lodge it would be tough. These would be my top 5 choices for a chance at a fish of a lifetime, and they all have stellar reputations.

AML on Eagle Lake (Steve Herbeck)

Nielsen's Flyin Lodge on Rowan Lake

Musky Bay Resort on Crow Lake

Walsh's Bay Store Camp on LOTW (Frank Walsh).

Indian Point Camp on Wabigoon Lake

Keep in mind your own success is really driven by your attitude & the effort you've expended. Yes! I have been skunked on Crow. But, not because I didn't try. I've also caught fish on the very first day I fished it and I was not staying at a resort on Crow. Canadian waters at times can be humbling, that's where any of the above lodges will do everything they can to make your experience a trip of the lifetime. I really don't think you can ask for more than that. I expect to be skunked, that way I'll never be disappointed.

It's really mostly a matter of attitude, i.e., decide what you want, select a lodge, and just go there and expect to have a good time. Plan to fish in less than ideal weather. Also plan to not fish in dangerous weather, i.e., it's all part of the game. You can learn a hell of lot just talking/socializing with folks in camp while you wait out the dangerous weather. In fact you'll probably develop some life long friendships.

Have fun!
Al

Eagle is without a doubt my favorite place for all of the reasons mentioned.

As for second place? I think the Minaki area is always overlooked because people don't want to drive by LOTW and keep going. I have only been out there a few times but yikes, there are some giants in there. Biggest fish I have ever boated personally was out there. I hear it gets hard but I don't see it myself.
