We just got back from a trip starting 7/1 and we had the best fishing of our lives as well, also with leeches and plastics. What a 4th of July!

Just got back from a five night stay in the BWCA and Red Rock lake produced the largest walleyes my group had ever caught consistently for the three days we fished it. There is a little island just to the north of the two that sit in the narrows on Red Rock and we fished the South side of that little island with leeches and we were consistently pulling in walleye over 24 inches on almost every cast. We also hooked into some really fat smallies as well in the same location with the leeches as well. There was very little pike action for us on Red Rock the entire trip, we might have caught six the entire three days we spent on Red Rock. Next time back instead of taking 4 dozen leeches, we are going to double it to 8 and hit that hole for as many days as possible. Fishing action really didn't pick up until about an hour or two until sunset. Once the sun went down we were tormented off the island by mosquito's, but we had caught more than enough by then each night.

We fished from the island, pulled our canoes out of the water on the east side. Fished the South side of the island halfway down and were probably 6-8 ft down using slip bobbers and leeches. We tried the north side but it only produced one walleye (he was a lunker).

We fished that island in July 2016 with not much success. We pulled the canoe out of the water and fished around the island, mostly casting our lines out to the north.
Planning on visiting that area again, probably in 2018. Just curious, did you fish from shore or from the canoe? Slip Bobber? And how deep do you figure the water was there?
