I have not been there but have seen photos and read reports...I plan on checking it out myself this summer. If you are willing to take one portage and set up a basecamp for a couple days with decent fishing and some exploration options nearby, this could work for you. Anyone who has any experience with this area, feel free to chime in if I am off base...or if I am not. Here's a link, there is more info available if you search for it. Astrid Lake area Here's a You Tube Video that shows the portage in, the campsite and the lake: Astrid Lake entry |

I know Gillespie has ice fished a few, but if anyone wants to share some thoughts privately, if you want to keep them secret, you can email. Thanks much. poppaj4 |

ellahallely: "I think that Gillespie was fishing Grassy Lake. There is a nice short route there from Fenske Lake through Little Sletten, Sletten, Tee and into Grassy Lake. Easy Portages, quite and nice scenery. JIM P." I like that route as well, but I would enter at Low Lake and take the Range River to Grassy. If I stayed on Grassy, I'd take a day trip down the Range River to Range Lake and maybe beyond. |
