Quiet waters of Quetico yield walleye bounty

ATIKOKAN, Ontario -- From the edge of our island camp in Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park comes the soft plip of a jig and plastic worm hitting the water. Silence. Then another plip.

Terry Christensen and Larry Riley are already up, casting from our granite porch into the stained waters of this wilderness lake. A rod bows. A fish is on.

Our first afternoon in this camp, our six-person group would catch 21 fish from shore, nearly all of them walleyes. And we would catch 40 more from our canoes, jigging over shallow rock reefs within sight of camp.
