Since I am limited by their schedules to mid-May...I am thinking its a great time for big Northerns. I am planning currently on EP47 and base camp in Horseshoe. My concern with Perent is that...it looks better for big pike...but will hog creek be clear at that time? My whole crew is in good shape so portages are not a concern. Any advice? |

I've not fished Perent but I don't know how it is for pike |

Horseshoe is great too, one of the more unique BWCA lakes because of its shape with some very nice campsites, but popular. Fishing is good there, definitely chances for pike and walleye but I don't know that it is known as an outstanding fishing lake. It is known, however, as being one of the likeliest spots in the BWCA to spot a moose. I don't think you could go wrong either way. If fishing is a priority I might lean slightly to Perent. If a balance of fishing, scenery and wildlife opportunities is more important then Horseshoe would probably get the nod. |
