Yeah, Hebert is really nice. Great fishing obviously, but it is really nice to completely "unplug" and get away from civilization. When I was a kid they didn't have flushing toilets, so going to the bathroom in the morning in the outhouse was horrendous, but now they have indoor showers and toilets in each cabin. They also now have a satellite phone for emergencies. I remember back in the day my Father joking that if someone died we would have to prop their body up in the corner until mid-week when the plane came in with supplies There are only 4 cabins on the entire lake, so it is really low-key. And there is a guide that stays there all season long to help you find the fish (although it's not difficult), but they usually speak very limited english.
The drive on the dirt road to Clova is absolutely brutal. I think it usually takes us 8-10 hours to go about 65 miles. There were times when the road was completely washed out, and we would have to shovel dirt into the holes so we could pass. Craziness. Supposedly, they take better care of the road now. We'll see.
That Lake Kipawa place looks very nice. I like that you can fish for bass as well. The lake looks huge though! How do you find your spots? Do you get a guide? The cabins look very nice too.
