Fly In Fishing

I would like to take my dad on a fly in trip this spring, problem is he won't get on a plane (thinks they are unsafe)!!! He is an avid angler and his thing is big Pike & Walley. I've never been on a fly in trip myself but I have wanted to go for years. Any of you guys got some suggestions on where to go / what outfitter to use etc. and maybe a few pictures of some big fish that might change his mind?

How far are you willing to travel?? Cree Lake, Sask. ??

Not sure where that is but Saskatchewan is where I was considering since the Folks still live there anyways, if you got some info on the lake / services let me know, Thanks Bushmaster!

Nonacho Lake in NWT is an amazing lake for huge pike.

Do a google search for Nonacho and there should be a lodge come up.

Cree is excellent fishing and this guy has a lodge on Mcintyre...you could quad in there and get a boat ride to his lodge at the north end of Cree....I know he's booked solid at the McIntyre place but likely still has openings for the Cree Lodge...worth a try.

Cree is the lake you want anyway, its known for big pike. I was on a trip there in 2000(different lodge) and it was good.

Look at Knee Lake it's in upper Manitoba and the prices aren't all that bad..7 days $3800.Plus they have 3 and 4 day trips

BB, just want to be clear, both of these camps I mentioned are advertised as fly-ins...but quite a few guys from here have gone for the last 2 years and quaded in.
