I am hoping to get out for a 3 night basecamp trip the 2nd week of October somewhere around the Kawishiwi Triangle. I have never been to this part of the BWCA. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice campsite that I can hangout and fish from shore in this area? I am looking at either entering from Lake 1 and staying near the northeast corner of the triangle, or entering from Gabbro and staying near the southern tip of the triangle. Thanks!

The best campsites for fishing from shore are probably #1129 or #1131, both between the portage from Little Gabbro and the portage to Clear Lake.

We did that trip a couple years back. Here's the trip report .

It was by no means a 5 star site but, we did have decent fishing near our camp.

Lake one entry, take the four portages down the river, first campsite on left, caught a lot of fish there, or the island campsite, then you can day trip from there, have fun.

I'd enter at Lake One or South Kawishiwi if I were you. Gabbro is nice, lots of walleyes (depending on how they are hitting of course) but the river would have way less impact from wind.
