I hung pretty near the lake when I was there a few years back. There is also a back door access to the site from the bay behind the site. We caught tons of bass back there. It's a nice place to pull up your boat of you want. " Thanks again for the info!!

nakor	04/12/2017 07:52PM quote lindylair: "Had no plans this morning but after a round of golf my buddy and I decided to go...53 days and counting. Don't have a permit or any particular plan. Our spring trips have been 1-2 portages in and basecamp for a 4-5 days but this year we may be entering on Sunday of Memorial Weekend. Might be better to just wait until Monday? Any ideas for 1-2 portages in and a scenic spot with decent fishing? We have recently been to Lake One, Crocodile and last year to gabbro for this trip. Considering Slim, is it worth it? Other ideas? " Yes, Slim is worth it. The elevated site is very nice. Good bass and northern fishing. August 4th for us. Less than four months but seems like a year.....

VaderStrom	04/12/2017 09:00AM Pierz is a must visit on a day trip to do some Splake fishing. Tough fish to reel in but absolutely beautiful fish and tastes great too.

CedricB	04/12/2017 08:01AM On June 12th my son and I are putting in at EP64 for our 2nd trip to BWCA. Trying to make final plans and getting excited. I'm sure the 13hour drive will all be worth it again. Anyone have any last suggestions for the area?
