Review Highlights

Guest sentiment is very positive, with both reviews giving five out of five stars. Reviewers describe Northern Wilderness Outfitters as dependable and say they would return. One guest who has used other outfitters called NWO "far superior" to them.

Guests praise the service and communication, and describe the people as friendly and caring. One reviewer names Vic and the staff as wonderful to work with. Guests call the cabins nice and the planes well maintained. Reviewers say the fly-in trips are consistently good and memorable. The outfitter also runs hunting trips.

Neither review includes complaints or recurring concerns. The outfitter suits repeat fly-in customers and anglers or hunters who have used other outfitters and value good communication, comfortable cabins, and reliable air service.

Nwo

I've flown to outposts with NWO twice. Once to Lake Carillon, and once to Lake Dasant. The Carillon camp is gone due to a fire, but Dasant was excellent for numbers, and we caught several 22" plus walleyes in the bay right next to the cabin. You'll be able to fish a couple of different lakes and rivers from the Dasant camp. The guys that run the ship over there are friendly, and professional. I'd recommend them.

We used them several years ago. It seemed that they had some lakes that were futher North than others. We fished Shakig and Dasant lakes. I believe this is the same company. i would not recommend either of these lakes. If they have lakes futher North that might be Ok.
