Wife and I and 2 friends were planning a Canada pike fishing trip this summer. We were working on a self-guided trip where we'd stay in a cabin, breakfast/dinner at the "lodge", but we were in charge of running our own boat. With the border closure, this plan is dead.
Does anyone have any recommendations for similar options in the continental US for style of trip? It doesn't have to be for pike, we'd picked that because its pretty solid action with the chance of a big fish, but we like catching most anything. What was more attractive was having things like accommodations, meals and the boat all available. I like DIY most of the time, but for once we're hoping to think about fewer things.
We're not against a guide/charter either, but we'd like to do a week long trip and that gets pretty pricey if you're doing it every day. Plus, we're all experienced fisherfolk. Some extra qualifications: Must be able to drive there. Below 9000 feet. Not southeast coast (NC to TX). Somewhere between July 20 and October.
Places we're investigating while I've got this thread posted are Lake of the Woods MN, Fort Peck MT and Blue Mesa CO (but not limited to these), but I haven't found anything resembling the self-guided package we were set up for in Canada.
