Is anyone back from Basswood yet? Or eagerly awaiting leaving? We go in Sunday.

I'll be there Tuesday morning thru Friday morning. I'm sinning and going on the motor part. I'll post how we did...

leaving tomorrow (wed)17 hr trip ,bunkhouse thurs & leave out on fri moosehead to wind to basswood.be out there 9 days.getting really excited.if my back doesnt get any better i'll get dropped off on washington.

A guy I work with was up on Basswood for the opener. His group did very well :) Good luck!

All groups we talked to did very well on Basswood last weekend!

Are minnows necessary or is the water warm enough for leeches? We are debating bringing minnows in or just leeches. considering we are coming from Wood Lake it would be nice to carry as little as possible.

Opener was very good on Basswood! Lots of fish caught, and some good size fish too.

Hope you get this in time- I was in mid-week. Didn't bring any bait. We got poured on, snowed on and we had 35 mph gust of wind between that. Caught a decent number of bass and northerns on spinnerbaits and shad raps. Trolling or sitting in one spot was next to impossible due to the weather. We had to fish where the weather allowed to, when the weather allowed us to. Didn't have a chance at much walleye action, but we were on the eastern motorized portion. All things considered I was quite happy to catch anything!

Thanks alot, I figured you guys had it tough. We are sittin in the hotel in Ely waiting for the morning. I'll post when we get back and/or trip report.

Im heading in on June 11th for 14 days. Probably will spend the first 3 on Basswood. Its good to hear the fish reports. Thanks!!!
