02/21/2020 02:07PM I agree, #14 Little Indian Sioux would be very good. I just checked permits for #14 openings from July 24th to August 7th. More still open for the end of July and starting Aug 3rd, the permits are going fast. The same is probably true for a number of entries, especially ones that are more desirable. |

02/21/2020 07:26AM I would recommend entry point #14 and head to Lynx. Good campsites and good fishing for walleye, smallies and pike. You can also do a day trip to Heritage or Hustler when your on Lynx. Good luck. |

02/21/2020 06:26AM You did the Ely side so now I would say go to the Gunflint side. Maybe Bearskin to Pine or get to Horseshoe lake where you might see a moose. |

02/17/2020 02:58PM Late July should show a few more permits open than early August. Do you have a date to start "on the water" yet? If a permit is open, you may want to consider using #16 Moose River, travel to Agnes Lake and day tripping from there. Or #14 Little Indian Sioux, go over to Lynx Lake. If you don't mind one long portage at the beginning (way shorter easier during the trip), consider #4 Crab Lake. Less people, great pike & bass fishing and lots of directions for the day trips. |

02/16/2020 06:19PM How about E. Bearskin Lake with a side trip to Johnson Falls? |

02/16/2020 08:58AM Thanks everyone, a few good recommendations here. I'll tell you one thing, it is a hard choice to make looking through all the entry points, lakes, and recommendations! Jason |

02/09/2020 10:54PM Rose lake, great fishing, nice day hike trail as well. Couple of ways to get to it so options are open. We came in from gunflint, camped 1 night on south lake, then the remaining 3 days on rose. We had two 10 year olds. |

02/09/2020 10:16PM Check out Insula. Making it to the north half where the fire did not effect the campsites is definitely possible in a day. One of my family's favorites for both lounging and fishing. |

02/09/2020 05:26PM Homer Lake is not an Ely entry, but it is not East side either. Off the Sawbill Trail it is a fairly quiet area with easy entry, lots of camping and daytrip/exploration options. Oh, and pretty good fishing. Homer Lake July 2018 |

02/09/2020 05:03PM Thanks for the replies so far! I am kinda looking for something on the Ely side preferably to save on some driving time. Appreciate the input so far. |

02/08/2020 08:42AM Knife Lake on the Gunflint side, but that's the better part of a day to get to, especially for a shorter trip. Red Rock or Alpine are also nice if you put in at Seagull. |

02/08/2020 07:43AM Big Moose Lake on the Ely side, Crocodile Lake on the Gunflint side.... |

02/08/2020 07:20AM Good morning all, really enjoy reading all of your stories, information, and recommendations! I'll be taking my three kids, boys 18 & 24, girl 16, to the BWCA the end of July or beginning of August. It will probably be a three night trip with us doing a base camp once we're in. Two of them and I went out of Mudro and stayed at Foretown lake a couple years ago. I am looking for recommendations on another great area that we could get to and basecamp at. Also they love to fish. Thank you in advance everyone, appreciate your info! Fimrite |
