- We can arrange a smaller boat with a local guide for smaller groups of 2-4 people at a cost of approximately $700.00 per day.
- Al's 26' custom designed aluminum guide boat, equipped with a 250 HP outboard will keep you safe in all weather and offers lots of room to move around during a days fishing.

- Al Smith has been a Guide on Lake of the Woods for 50 years. Also a registered fur harvester and wildlife game keeper on our camp property.
- Al is very eager to identify and educate on a variety of local wildlife you may encounter. Al guided his first fishermen in 1973 and continues to operate daily. Extended duration trips from the base camp at Smith Camps or our rustic, comfortable and very secluded Lake of the Woods Outpost.
- Resolute Island Outpost is 31 miles southwest of base camp, in the heart of Lake of the Woods wilderness.
- Like the main camp we also have seen Moose, Whitetails, Bears, Timber Wolves, Beavers, Fishers, Marten, Racoon, Lynx and even a Bobcat have been spotted on the camp lawn. Ruffed Grouse, Loons, Ducks, Canada Geese,and Trumpeter Swans nest on or very near the island.
- We ask guests to leave dogs at home when visiting this wilderness retreat during nesting season as a few times dogs have sniffed out the nests and destroyed Grouse and Duck eggs.
- Guided fishing trips make for a great team building experience with coworkers, or a fun company retreat.
