The owners of Collins Camps are awesome. Besnard Lake Lodge is good too, but I have less experience with them.

It is so different from Alberta. I like fly fishing for early season pike. I will use big-ass disco flies and I will be catching 2 walleye for every pike I catch. I usually pull out one 40"+ pike a year (which I always release, so they are still in there), except last year---I must have caught 20 in that 8-10lb range, but no monsters in that 15+lb category.
I fished that lake hard three times now, found it on a whim in 1990 as a army buddy and I needed to get away from things, pointed to the lake and made the run up....never ever disappointed, your lake is a beauty and to have a cabin there is awesome.

September is just amazing time to be there too.
