Sorry, should have made clear that questions were for john23 since he was there this year.
I can jump in and help a little bit with rusty myers fly-in.
I was there in August of 2023.
1. Lake Wapikaimaski
2. 1st week of August
3. No
4. After dark the bugs definetly showed up and we got off the water.
5. 14 foot v-bottom boats with a 9.9 yamaha motor don’t plan on going anywhere fast
6. We targeted walleye and you dont have to go far to catch a fish
7. I dont think you can take live bait across the mn/canada boarder
8. 6 to 8 foot bottom bouncer with a 2oz weight
9. Bring a fish finder and battery this will be most of your weight
10. Bring extra rope and make your own anchor they didn’t have any at that time we just found a large rock to make an anchor.
We basically back trolled 90 percent of the time with bottom bouncers.
The flight is cramped we went with 8 guys probably do 6 next time that way you could take more gear for weight. 8 guys came out to 60 lbs a person. Remember they take care of food and water so thats your biggest weight you dont have to worry about.
Order more minnows than you think and crawlers.
Good luck let us know how you do
