Come fish Ely Minnesota, the Boundary Waters and Quetico and experience some of the best fly-fishing in the world, for trophy smallmouth bass, northern pike, muskie and largemouth bass. World renowned for its abundance of trophy sized fish, this area is quickly gaining a reputation as the world’s best fishery for smallmouth bass and pike and muskie. In the July/August 2008 issue of American Angler Brian O'Keefe said "A fly-fishing trip into the Boundary Waters Area Wilderness gets you away from the crowds...and into the fish." The Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Quetico is home to world class Smallmouth Bass Fishing. The Smallmouth SMALLMOUTH BASS GUIDED FLY-FISHING TRIPS Ely, Minnesota, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Quetico are home to world class Smallmouth Bass Fishing and Smallmouth Bass on a fly rod are absolutely dyn-o-mite!! When the water begins to warm you can find one of our favorite targets--Smallmouth Bass. If you haven't fished for Smallies, you've got to try it! These fish fight harder pound-for-pound than any other freshwater fish. Unlike Largemouth Bass that give up after a few short bursts Smallies never quit fighting. The action is absolutely amazing! The Smallmouth Bass is one of the most prized game fish of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Quetico and the perfect adversary for the fly fishing angler. These rod bending, surface smacking “bronze-backs” readily attack top water presentations, and are a consistent producer throughout the canoe season. Their relentless fighting ability is known everywhere, thus providing the perfect adversary for the fly fisher-person to test their abilities against. This trip will focus on the special techniques required to catch these fish and will incorporate casting techniques, fly tying, and catch and release.
NORTHERN PIKE GUIDED FLY-FISHING TRIPS The Boundary Waters, Ely and Quetico receive lots of attention for its bass fishing, but many people overlook it's potential as an excellent northern pike fishery. Pike up to 35-40" are common and readily take a fly. Moose Track Adventures Guides now have specific areas that we take customers to that produce excellent fly-fishing for pike all season long. Peak times for pike are May-June and September-November. And while casting for northern pike there is always a good chance of tangling with a huge smallmouth bass.
MUSKIE GUIDED FLY-FISHING TRIPS Believe it or not, the Ely Minnesota area has some of the best muskie fishing in the state. Our guided Musky Fly-Fishing Trips concentrate on Minnesota's famous Lake Vermillion and surrounding Department of Natural Resources managed Muskie lakes. Fly-Fishing for Muskie is an exhilarating and often tiring experience. Be prepared for the battle of a lifetime. For those who have fished for Muskie, they can be difficult fish to catch whether fly-fishing or bait casting. In fact, they are classified as the fish of 10,000 cast, but if the timing is right, the action is unbeatable! The best time for Fly-Fishing for Musky is May-June and September-October, so book your trip early.
