There are two portages from Suz to Con...I would do the western one and hang out and fish the western part of Conmee. Personally, I like Burt. Lots of walleyes and a good population of 10lb+ fish. Great scenery, camps, and places to rock climb. Great structure.

i would go out the east end of Sue..you could hang around the
east end of Brent and fish and then to the PP by way of Mcintyer
and Sarah..i perfere the Isabella route to North Bay rather than
the Point and Nest way to the Bay...or---you could leave Sue by
way of the Darkwater River on the way to Burt--the rapids below
the small falls and rapids are good for bass..it will be going up stream but there is no real current,,there are some nice back bays
on the way to Burt..to get back on the path to North Bay go thru
Paulene and to Mcintyre..
it's just a level trail thru the woods.

FG--which way are you going in from??..
i have not fished Paulene--it does not seem to get much traffic.
a camp with one of those "who did it" wood piles was there and
unused--i recall the carry out to the west was sort of brushy
and not a beaten path--
it's just a level trail thru the woods.

"Curious why you would skip Conmee? Isn't Conmee supposed to be a trophy walleye lake (BWJ)? "
I'll take a guess--either OS is joking or avoid it precisely becuase it has been advertised in the BWJ so much. All of the lakes in that area have potential to catch big fish anyway.
Fishguts both portages from Conmee to Suzanette are easy. Since you have shared with me in the past take the western portage, go to the right and look for the cliff, leave a message in the jar for me when I'll be back in a couple of years if ya know what I mean. The eastern portage has a loaction marker in the middle of it, dated 1926.

Hey! Old Salt,
I wasn't dishing your suggestion about Conmee, It's just that for those of us who haven't been there and have read the Boundary Waters Journals....it has been described as "Walleye Heaven" Stu even uses words like "Hallowed" to describe it. Maybe it's a myth that dies hard. I do agree with you about West Brent (I have been there) and it has terrific fishing.....walleye, trout, smallmouth.

Or maybe he goes to Conmee and catches boatloads of jumbo walleyes. He then publishes a story in BWJ about how great the walleye fishing is, then nobody goes there THINKING it's misinformation!?! Ol' Stu has us right where he wants us. Diabolical!!! LOL!

If you want to fish Conmee, go ahead and do it. I'd hate for you to miss a lunker on Conmee when you could catch more lunkers elsewhere.
Stu has a mag rag, and I don't, so he must know.
