Thanks for the suggestions! A friend of mine actually recommended Lake of the Woods as well. I've also heard that Rainy Lake is really good, but it's also huge, so I'm trying to figure out the best areas to fish. If anyone has recommendations for specific areas of that lake, I'd appreciate them. 

PS: I've always heard stories about people catching 30+" Pike all day. I don't know if that's only certain lakes, or a certain time of the year, but I'd love to fish some lakes with great action, and the chance to catch some monsters.

Thanks!

We'll most likely be going around July 4th. We will be driving, so we probably won't be going any further North than Savant Lake, and no further East than Thunder Bay (obviously closer is preferred). We'll mostly be after Pike, but would also like to target Muskie, if possible. There will be four of us, and we'll probably rent a boat near our location, rather than tow one that distance. It would also be nice to be reasonably close to a town with restaurants and things to see/do, again, if possible. Great fishing is the most critical factor, anything else would just be icing on the cake.

I've done my fair share of fishing trips in the states, but it's always easy to plan, because I have very specific locations in mind. Ontario is so massive, I'm hoping I can get some advice to help me narrow down my search. I'm doing tons of research, but my knowledge is still very limited, so I'm hoping members of the forums can help shed light on the situation.

Thanks
