Gunflint may be a little less nuts" I think both areas will be pretty nuts, honestly! There's literally no open permits in the whole BW, except for Trout. It's full up! |

07/26/2021 09:34PMMocha: "How many nights? Never been to Farm but have experienced south a few times. So, I vote south to rose to mountain and out Clearwater... " 5 nights. That border route is a nice route. I've been on Mountain, Clearwater, West Pike, Pine, and all the lakes around East Bearskin multiple times. I have never been on the lakes from Gunflint to Rose, nor Duncan or Daniels. And I've never been in any of the area from Farm, only the area to the north that's currently closed... |

07/26/2021 08:04PM How many nights? Never been to Farm but have experienced south a few times. So, I vote south to rose to mountain and out Clearwater.OR, mountain to north fowl to royal river, east like west pike and out Clearwater. Arrange for a pickup from Clearwater that would bring you back to your car. |

07/26/2021 07:20PM Going in August 9th and had a Mudro permit (cancelled). I snagged a Farm Lake that opened up today. My daughter already had a South Lake through Gunflint. We fish enough to eat meals at night, but like exploring, etc. We usually do longer loops. What is your vote? And suggestions for the route you would take? (We'll make a decision and release the second permit in the next day or two as we know folks are looking...) |
