[QUOTE="stalker, post: 225481, member: 863"] Its been a few years but we used to go on a yearly boundary waters fishing trip right after memorial day. We took off at the Mudro Lake access point. The starting point was a bar called the chainsaw sisters saloon which is gone now. There are a couple of different routes that we went, but our goal was to get into Crooked Lake at Lower Basswood Falls. We were after walleyes and we always did well. Crooked Lake narrows down in several places. They told us to fish any place where there were riffles from the current. We used 1/4 and 3/8 fireballs tipped with night crawlers and you never knew what was going to grab it. We caught lots of eater walleyes along with big northern and smallies. I don't think I had ever caught smallies like that before. They sure were fun to catch. Bad thing is it's about a day in and a day out to Crooked Lake, but the fishing was worth it. We didn't do the full outfitter thing. All we did was rent canoes and part of the deal was that they brought us and the canoes back and forth from the access point. When I do it again, I might do the same thing, but I would rent a good lightweight Kevlar canoe. We always saved a few bucks and used the old Grumman Ultra Lights. There's nothing light about them. They sucked to carry through the mud and over the rocks and hills. The outfitter that we used was Canoe Country Outfitters in Ely. [/QUOTE]
