Hey, Pat, I assume you have your destination already chosen, but if not, let me know and I can tell you about the area we hunt. We've been to other spots in MN as well. Not sure when you are going, but if possible we could meet while you are here. I don't have any experience on the fishing around, but years back, my parents came with us and hired a guide to take them for walleye. I believe they fished Island Lake near Northome, but there are lots of lakes that have good fishing.

If you've not been to the North Woods, you are in for a treat. I would recommend reading Gordon MacQuarrie before you go -- not for how-to tips, but to get a real sense of the North Country. There are some wonderful recordings (by a great reader!) of some MacQuarrie stories. Listen on the drive up and you will be all primed for the North Woods.
