Great trip report! I see I'm not the only one who fishes with a Blakemore Roadrunner.

Sweet trip man. All that calm water is making me salivate. I'm a bit lost about site 1148. Is there a way to search this place by site number?

If you go to the map section on BWCA.com and place the cursor on the red campsite dot, a site number will appear. I don't know if these are USFS campsite numbers or what, but I've found them to be very helpful when helping others identify/locate a specific site.

Nice report. Beautiful fish.

thanks for the trip report and the great pictures

sounds like a great time with good friends. the kawishiwi is really great in the fall, too.

Great report.

Has anyone ever caught a trout on Conchu?! I, too, have seen the largemouth there. I have fished for trout there because it is a designated stream trout lake, but nothing. For more than 15 years, I have read reports and talked to others, but I have never heard of anyone catching a trout on Conchu.

Bannock,

What had me a little concerned about the trout population is that we spotted a 32"-36" northern in the lake along with the bass, and I've heard horror stories about northern getting introduced to trout lakes out west and decimating them. Admittedly, I don't know squat about managing a fish population, but I'd have a hard time believing that the pike don't enjoy a nice trout dinner.

Looks like you guys had AWESOME fishing!

Great report. Funny, we were just there last week, and stayed at the exact same site!

What a difference a week makes though. This area was very busy last week.

Sloth,

I hoped we had everything picked up for you. FYI: Someone else left the fish remains on the south side of the camp in the water, but I think some gulls were finally cleaning them up. Looked like it was a pretty good sized northern someone cleaned and then just dumped right there. That's the sort of garbage I just don't get.

No worries, it was pretty much spotless when we got there. Noticed some fish bones by the canoe landing on the south side, but they looked pretty old.

There was a little green hand shovel left by the fire grate too. We used it to clean out the fire/ash, and left it there for the next folks.

Glad you had a good time too! We'll go back to this area, we loved it.

Nice trip report and looks like some pretty good fishing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like some awesome fishing. Leaving in 2 weeks and can't wait.

Thanks for the report, hope you left some fish for us up there.

Thanks for the Trip Report and photos. Really enjoyed them. I am glad you had amazing weather and fishing. The four people that didn't go with you this year must feel awful.

Great report thl. I enjoyed reading about and seeing photos of your fishing success. Thanks.

Good job on the report. I hope we have the success that your party did when we make it up there.
