I have been trying to get to the BWCA for years to try Lake Trout fishing in the winter. To date, life continues to get in the way.

Anyway, are there any destinations that are reasonable for a day trip? Depending on conditions, I can either ski or snowshoe. I have a pulk I built from the plans at www.skipulk.com that I can use with either the skis or the snowshoes for gear hauling.

Moss, not bwca but a consistent winter lake for lakers.

West Bearskin and Duncan are also good bets, along with Daniels and Clearwater.

i did this day winter trip years ago ,cant remember exactly where we parked though, but we started at mayhew followed the portage into topper crossed topper then down hill into south lake and it has trout . it wasnt that bad of a hike. .... pic is south lake 1988

Snowbank.

quote Basspro69: "Moss, not bwca but a consistent winter lake for lakers."

As is Trout by GM. smaller fish the rule,, but some line busters as well.

I'd consider a hard push into JAP lake. Tought to beat on shear numbers of fish.

That is a great pic on many levels! Thanks!

shock, awesome picture. I really like the hat. Go Bulldogs.

thanks but, thats not me , a friend from the past.(i took the pic) GO GOPHERS :) i said that once in front of a bunch of duluthians, i was lucky to escape with my life . WHEW !
