Dusty Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Can anyone point me to a good lake trout lake close to Ft. Frances that one can drive to, other than Rainey. Looking for something smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uffdapete Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Esox which connects to Manitou are both good - on the Cedar Narrows road off of 502. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1DIRTBALL Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 The NW Arm of Pipestone Lake! Get in touch with Superbee! 1DIRTBALL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 The Manitou is a great Lake Trout Lake, very deep clear cold water. The landing for Esox/Manitou is only a little over an hour from the border crossing at I-Falls/Fort Frances. The resorts on Manitou are boat in, we are 20 miles in...more info on our HSOforum below.

Dusty Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I thought there were Lakers on the Canadian side as there are on the Canadian side LOW in some spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Dusty, Nope, no lakers in Rainy. I have spent a few weekends on Lower Manitou for lakers, tho always in the winter. Drop me a line and I can see what I can find out for you. I know a few locals that can point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnut2 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 DustyPipestone would be close(about an hour). SuperBee is someone you should talk to. If you want to drive and put a boat in, on the way to Kenora up through Sioux Narrows you would have Whitefish and Regina Bays on Lake of the Woods, Dogpaw, Caviar, Highwind, Hillock, Porcus, Dogtooth, and Dryberry come to mind on the trip up there. You can get to all of them with a vehicle. You can email me at [email protected] if you would like more info. We fish most of these summer and winter.

Tolens Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The people fishing on White Fish Bay are getting some nice fish. Bank or out of the boat - lots of 8-9 pounders with the some in the teens . Cow bells are best as of right now. If you are looking to drive up for the day to launch or need a cabin - Vic & Dots Camp can set you up . Have a good one Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
