walleye lakes?

[Guest]

Hey guys I'm new here and I live in Tucson, AZ. I was wondering if there were any good walleye lakes in the Hibbing/Chisholm area because I will be up there around the 23rd of July through the 6th or so of August. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Chase, I was born in Hibbing, but unfortunately raised in the Cities. I do make it up there from time to time though to do some fishing.

I was up there over the 4th of July last year, we did well on Swan Lake near Pengilly trolling lindy's along the shore lines. There is an old boys camp up in the NW side of the lake, it is on the east shore of that little bay. We drifted there, and also along the SW shores. Basically any shore line you can run should produce eyes. Again this was last year.

We also fished Crooked which is NW of Nashwauk, if you ask some locals you should be able to figure out where it is, and where to fish. Crooked is a lot like a river, narrow and crooked.

There is one guy that does visit this site from time to time that lives in Hibbing, here is his information. I would recommend e-mailing him to get the most current info.

Grabs, thanks for the information and I will definitely e-mail this person you told me about. Also I was wondering if you had any experience on a lake called stingy that is somewhere in that area. I think it's off of highway 84 but I'm not sure because I'm not too familiar with that area. Anyways, thanks for getting back to me so quickly and good luck on the water!

Yes I have heard of Stingy and I know where it is, but I can't remember road numbers. I deer hunt out near Stingy. Last year I heard Stingy was really slow, but I know there can be decent fishing out there from time to time. Stingy is located Northwest of Hibbing out in the direction of Side lake. Side lake can also be good, but I hear it is a tough lake to learn.

c-dubs....i'm in hibbing here and there are a few lakes for sure in the area that hold a few walleyes...if one were willing to drive say 1/2 an hour or so....Grubs hit the main walleye lakes already..there are a few more...Island Lake south of Hibbing has a few walleyes(nice ones)...Lower Panca(near Calumet(connected to Swan)...has a sizeable population of walleyes... If your willing to go the other direction...try the Forbes Dam on the St. Louis river....I was there earlier this spring and caught some nice walleyes right of the shore next to the dam...plus channel cats...Even little Carey Lake here in Hibbing has walleyes(stocked every year by the city of Hibbing and the DNR)...hope this helps...thanks jon
