Fishing Lodge Recommendations

[IrishHokie]

My son and I would like to take a 4 day fishing lodge vacation up North. North as in Canada or maybe Minnesota. We plan to fly the first part of the trip, then probably rent a car to drive to the lodge or drive to a spot and take a float plane to the lodge.
Do you have a recommendation of a lodge you have been to?
How much time did it take you to get there.
Did you go all guided so as not to have to bring your own equipment, or travel with your own equipment?
What i have found so far is that the cheapest and fastest way seems to be to fly to Toronto (2 hrs) then rent a car and drive 4-6 hours to the lodge. You can fly to smaller towns from Toronto but those small flights may have several stops so it is a lengthy transit.

Thanks very much. (We will fish for walleye, pike, small mouth, and maybe lakers in early June.)
