Anglers turn to basics in canoe country.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
DULUTH, Minn. _ Forget the 17-foot Lund. Forget the trolling motor. Forget the fish finder, the live well and the staircase tackle box.
There's another way to fish.
You forge into the backcountry along the Minnesota-Ontario border by canoe and packsack. You take along a rod, maybe two. You throw a handful of jigs, a half-dozen lures and maybe some slip bobbers into a plastic container. And you go.
You'll usually find fish. Lake trout in early spring. Smallmouth bass in early June. Walleyes at their hungriest from Memorial Day to the Fourth of July. Northern pike any old time.
For those who prefer silence to sonar, wilderness fishing offers all the satisfaction that you could want. And, assuming you've secured a camping permit, there are hundreds of productive lakes waiting in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park.
Here's a look at how some seasoned border-country anglers go after fish in canoe country.
