I'm going to need to run up to Ely to grab a canoe I recently purchased from an outfitter (poor me I know). Anyway, I'd like to do a quick 3 night fishing trip while I'm there. I'd like to have good chance a campsite on a decent fishing lake (walleyes would be the target species). I'm thinking EP 7 (Big) or EP 26 (Wood). Any other recommendations?
When month/dates are you going? Wood is an easy entry and has decent Walleye fishing. You could also try an easy paddle into Big Moose Lake, EP 8 Moose River South. Or Little Gabbro/Gabbro/Bald Eagle area. Lots of options...
Oops. Thought I had put the rough dates in. Mid May is what we're thinking. I've been to Gabbro quite a few times and it's one of my favorite lakes but I'd like to try something new. I haven't been into Wood before so I'm leaning that way.
I'd consider Stuart Lake. It's a bit more of a trek but the walleye fishing is excellent. Upper and Lower Pauness and Shell Lake also offer the good walleye fishing as well.

+1 these are great route recommendations as well. Stuart is a gem that time of year...
