Going to head in the last week or so in August for 8 days. This will be my 2nd solo if my cousin can not go. I soloed EP 16 and did a loop over to Oyster, up to LAC, and back. I have done several trips to Ensign, Jordan, and Ima area. I would like to do something different. I can't go in VIA Grand Marais this trip. Looking to base camp with some good fishing. LIS ? Snowbank ? Other ?

Mudro entry gives you some good access to some good fishing. Gun, Fairy, etc. and, of course, the various days of the week bays on Basswood.

Insula is one day in from Lake One and would be good for a basecamp. Daytrip down the Kawishiwi River and visit Alice.

Thanks TomT - Lake One it is, and it looks like my cousin can go. Frenchy19 - Mudro was an early choice, but the only reservations left for my time period were restricted. I need to decide earlier for Mudro.

I'd second this route. I'm looking at it as well for a short solo. Loop back through Beartrap from Iron down to Fourtown.
