You should be fine for a Monday entry in May. For my last Sawbill entry it was a June trip and I didn't reserve my permit until May.

You should have no problem putting in those days.
Here's how you reserve permits:
Current availability on recreation.gov for late May (EP 38)



If EP 38 fills up and you haven't reserved yet, you can go next door to EP 37 Kawishiwi Lake. Lots of permits at that EP, also (14 per day?)
---But I would worry that campsites near those EPs may be fairly scarce.
I went into 37 in July 2011, and there was plenty of campsite availability throughout our trip.
The fishing should be great. If the bass haven't warmed up yet, then the pike and walleyes should still be bangin! Should be good for all three species. That area is full of walleye, pike, and smallmouth bass factories. We caught some HUGE smallmouth on the Kawishiwi River. They're STACKED UP in there.
Good luck!

I was just wondering about permit availability in late May and if they sell out. Thinking around May 21st or so. I won’t know what days I can go till I get my May schedule. I’ll be putting in at Sawbill Ep 38
Also, how’s the fishing that time of year
Thanks
