It is a dead end lake so doesn't get much traffic. On that permit you must stay all nights on Crocodile which discourages some folks too - generally very quiet. Now the good news, excellent walleye fishing, almost easy, with jumbo perch and some pike as well. A very remote feel to it for being as close to the entry as it is. I have seen more wildlife there than most other places. Car to camp in a few hours depending on how you portage and which campsite you take. There are tons of walleyes in the "eater" range, say 12-17 inches. But also some nicer ones as well, we have caught a few over 20 and there's probably bigger ones, we honestly haven't fished it that much. For an easy entry with a remote feel, good wildlife opportunities and great walleye fishing, this one is as good as any. Trip report if you are interested: Crocodile Lake Let me know if there are any questions. BTW, I like Gabbro a lot too, great fishing and nice sites but busy. Vista is a great walleye lake, a sentimental favorite but only one nice site and hard to get. Crocodile is at least as good or a better option as these. |

But then again you may have several perfectly calm days...who knows. |

I'm thinking of the following Entry points: #33- Little Gabbro/Gabbro #25- Moose (take shuttle to Ensign) #47- Poplar to Horseshoe/Vista area #60- Duncan (I know this is mostly lake trout area, but how walleye in the area?) All will be new areas to me. My primary concern is being able to find a campsite. I only care to paddle in a few hours, so if weather is bad on my exit day, I don't have too far to go. Any input is appreciated. Open to other ideas as well. |
