Planning a fishing trip to Saskatchewan

Body
As a young boy, I read about fishing up in remote lakes up in northern Saskatchewan for big northern pike, walleye and arctic grayling. I’d read all about the shore lunches, the cry of the loon, and battles with big northern pike. Several years ago, I experienced Canadian wilderness fishing for the first time and since have made several return trips. I also think many folks get “boggled” down with what they perceive to be a complex travel itinerary and deem the trip “up north” to fish too expensive and complicated. Just like fishing in the states, there is a wide assortment of options; everything from camps that offer fully guided fishing in a lodge with chef to do it yourself operations I’ve always been a do-it-yourselfer, regardless what outdoor endeavor I am partaking in but a trip up to the wilds of Canada requires a bit of help. I guess it’s possible for someone in tip physical condition to actually spend a month or so and reach these isolated fishing lakes but few have the physical conditioning, skills or time for a completely DIY fishing trip up in the north country. But I’ve found an economical way to gain access to a fun filled 5 days of fishing without having to take a second mortgage!
