In the BWCAW and the BWCAW area I have heard of some (maybe several) places where stream trout exist. Is that true and does anyone know where some trout streams are located if they do exist?

No trout streams (although several lie outside the wilderness), but a good number of small lakes within the BWCAW are managed (stocked) with stream trout. Check out the MN DNR publication: "Trout Angling Opportunities in Northeastern Minnesota".

To name a few: Missing Link, Bingschick, Gadwell, Vale, Pemmican, Ahsub, Mulligan, Conchu, Lizz, Rog..........

Like artic said there are numerous streams that border the bdub such as lullaby creek to name one, and many lakes managed for stream trout. Any stream between managed stream trout lakes is also a potential target.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sounds good. Thanks for the insight. We have a cabin south of Ely and a few of the neighbors referenced some good secret trout streams so I was wondering if they were pulling my leg or not. I was not expecting there to be trout in the area other than Lakers but I will investigate as you said with the state, etc. Thanks all!

Ahsub has had the brook trout population overrun by smallmouth bass. This is not uncommon in the BWCA. Sadly, this information cannot be gleaned from the DNR Lake Finder website. Rather forums such as this, or the locals will have the most accurate and up-to-date information.

(I am not anti-smallmouth, but once an aggresive fish gets tossed in with the smaller trout, it's pretty much over.)

To my knowledge Ahsub is being dropped by the DNR as a stream trout lake.

This link from March of 2010 has some info you might be interested in. Stream trout

Thanks! I need to locate some of these on a map so I can find some. Thanks for the input.
