Boundary Waters Fishing Vacation Packages

Freshly caught fish fry in the BWCA

Fry up your catch fresh out of the water.

Fishing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area is considered some of the best fishing in Minnesota. It's not uncommon to catch a trophy walleye or lake trout in these deep, clear, rocky lakes. Whether you want to rough it in the wilderness or in one of our cabins, take guided fishing trips or go it on your own, we have a fishing vacation package that fits. And we'll help you with choosing the appropriate lures, locations to fish, depths, etc.if you want.

BWCA fishing tips...

Bring along plenty of lures on your BWCA fishing vacation.

  • Be prepared to lose lures as the lakes in this area have lots of rocks to get snagged on. Bring more than you think you'll need.

  • Don't keep more fish than you'll eat. Make sure your hands are wet when handling them and get them back in the water as quickly as you can.

  • Always remove lures from your rod when you're not fishing — you want to catch fish, not yourself or your companion.
