07/19/2017 08:34AM Any lake that the Kawishiwi River runs through is a pretty good walleye lake in my opinion. Insula has been good to me. |

It was super frustrating. Glad to hear you had good luck. |

06/08/2017 11:52AM No offense, but if you can't catch walleye in Fall you probably won't elsewhere. Fall is a great walleye lake...even my wife catches them there, for what it's worth. BUT, if you want an alternative, my suggestion would be Cedar very nearby. |

For paddle day permits and hiking day permits you just fill out a self serve card and off you go. I always have a supply in my glove box just in case there aren't any at the entry point. |

TGO - you are correct! - Go to the entry point of your choice, just fill out a day permit at the landing, drop the back card in the box and you are on the water. No permit arrangements ahead are necessary for day use. Sometimes I have even stopped at the Forest Service Office there in Ely and picked up a couple of blank Day Permit Forms so I had them just in case there were none at the entry point. |

06/07/2017 05:51PM If you are up for a semi long daytrip and an adventure, I would throw out Boot Lake west of Fourtown Lake as a spot to do some walleye fishing. It will take you 2-3 hours to get there and of course, 2-3 to get back. but with an early start that leaves plenty of time to fish. I have only fished it once and had very good luck from shore at the campsite we were staying at, including my biggest walleye ever. I have the feeling and have talked to others on this site who concur that Boot is a "sleeper" walleye lake with decent numbers and some BIG fish. No guarantees obviously, but it would be a pretty cool datytrip regardless. |

06/07/2017 05:21PM Ed Shave and Big Lake hold good walleyes. There are walleyes in Slim but it's a hard lake to fish. |

06/07/2017 04:45PM Ed shave. Little long. There were a few in there a few years ago. Maybe cedar...can't remember much Wallie there. |

06/07/2017 04:13PMquote iwegean: "Wood Lake is an easy access lake close by." That would be a good choice, but there are no "day permits" for Wood Lake. And Lake One only has overnight permits! |

06/07/2017 02:35PM The number lakes have been good for Walleye. - depends on water temp and depth......... |

06/07/2017 01:05PM I am headed to Ely for a week of camping at Fall Lake Campground. Last year, I was totally blanked on walleyes and wondered if I was even fishing good lakes? Can someone recommend lake names only, not locations, that I should target? I am looking for something off the Fernberg Trail or Echo Trail. Any ideas are appreciated. |
