Going to try and fish ojibway for lakers this year. I know Burntside and snowbank are probably better bets ,but thats lots of big water. I looked at the DNR fish surveys and ojibway has a fishable population. Anyone have any success on this lake?.

I have never fished Ojibway but the most recent survey would keep me from pursing Lakers there. One 10 inch fish in 12 deep nets isn't very good. Is there a reason you are committed to the Ely area?

Ya. Just use to the Ely area. Made a few trips over to the gunfli t side, liked it but really know the Ely side spots...
Gonna venture a little south and try crescent and dumbbell and silver island this year.
Last survey I seen was 2007 and only 4 fish.

I just checked and pulled this from the dnr lake report....

"Several different species were introduced, but since 1992 stocking has been limited to lake trout yearlings every even year. Due to poor growth and survival of stocked fish, stocking was discontinued after 2010. This population assessment consisted of three different net types: shallow water gillnet sets, deep water gillnet sets, and trapnet sets. Lake trout numbers in Ojibway Lake have generally been low, but the 2015 lake trout catch of 0.1/deep gill net is the lowest catch rate since 1977. The only trout caught was 10 inches, weighed 0.3 pounds, was three years old, and was not stocked."

Im still considering a visit to ojibway sometime but for the other species and scenery.

I'll go there also. Usually just pass through on the way into Triangle. Heard there were some big pike in the far East bay of Ojibway.

That's funny how a fish won't take off in a lake..
I mean it's got depth and a for race base.....

Still will probably give it a day. What was the latest info on the eyes.
