Lake trout, smallmouth bass, northern pike and, of course, walleyes. These are the the “Big Four” that most anglers are interested in when it comes to a fishing trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. In this video I will show you the most straightforward, effective ways to catch each species in both deep and shallow water without the need for tons of gear/tackle. I’ll also throw in a bonus trout how-to for those of you who want to try some of the excellent smaller lakes sprinkled throughout the BWCAW that are stocked with brook and rainbow trout! Learn what gear to bring, what gear NOT to bring and also pick up some tips and tricks on fishing out of a canoe for all of these tasty, hard fighting sport fish!
