I'm decently experienced in the BWCA and mostly focus on 2 week trips on the Border Lakes. In June I'll be leading a group of guys (all strong paddlers/portagers) on a 4-5 day trip. Getting them from Duluth airport so looking for a good northern/smallie lake with minimum travel time from airport. Looking hard at Brule since it's got easy/quick access (our trip is midweek so I'm not that concerned with crowds). Considering base camping on Brule and day-tripping to adjoining lakes if fishing is worth it. Focus is on northern and smallmouth. Quantity is more important than quality (hurts my heart to say that but they are all newbie fisherman). Any thoughts? Have read enough to where Brule seems at least a fairly decent smallmouth/northern lake. Agree? What about the adjoining lakes? Am open to a totally different lake network if access is relatively quick. Thanks so much...and HOW many days till ice-out? Killin me.... |
