Parts of my group have been Flying with Hearst air to George’s lakes since 1977 when he bought the company. I personally am on my fifth season. After many dissapointing outings with inferior outfitters, Hearst Air is a breath of fresh air. The fishing is outstanding on both lakes that I have been to. (McLeister and Wanzatika). All verticle log cabing with wood stove for heat, propane powered fridge, stove, lights and BBQ. even new comfortable mattresses. The boats are almost all new 14 foot lunds with very reliable 6 horse Merc’s. Using Live minnows on Jigs with a 3″ grub(white,chartruse, or my fovorite chart w red tail, can catch walleye all day. Troll for big Walleye ( 7.6lb trip record) and big pike (20.2lb) troll slowly along shorlines with Rapala X Raps or Med size 3-4″ spoons. Staff is fantastic. All of the pilots including Georges son, Michael, who flies the Turbo Otter are Excellent. They added a new Turbo Beaver to the Fleet Last year. There is a check up Flight mid week on Wednesdays. And if you rent the Sat Phone from them you can call the base and for a Min charge they will bring in more supplies if needed ie: ice beer (toilet paper very important). All in all Worth every penny. Any questions do not hesitate to ask.
