Looking to put together the best possible drive-in/boat-in trip for next June for 4-6 people. I am leaning towards Lac Seul, but I heard the water level this year was down 4+ feet and I am wondering how that effected fishing. Anyone have any info or advice I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!

Fish Head,

I boated in to Lac Seul Outpost last July. Water level was low but you follow their guide boat and they have the area marked fairly well for hazards. The fishing is awesome. We could catch walleyes and pike right off the dock!! Not to tuff to find walleyes in Lac Seul.

Thanks for the info! This all sounds good to me. I was wondering if the low water level affected things, but it sure doesn't sound like it. We are looking at Lac Seul Outpost and Ojibway Outfitters near Chamberlain Narrows. I thind we will be going near the end of June.

What did you use for bait? Were you jigging with plastics? Did you have any live bait?

Fish Head,

I've been to Lac Suel 2 times and never used live bait. I used plastic grubs for jigging and power worms on spinners behind a bottom bouncer. Fishing around Chamberlain Narrows is awesome and it is not difficult to catch lots of fish.

Hi guys!

I'm new to this Canada Forum...I have been fishing Lake Vermilion MN for the last couple years. I was just trying to set up a trip that will be that "trip of a lifetime" for my father, brother, and myself. I have heard many great things about Lac Seul, and from what you guys are saying it is awesome. I have been trying to decide between a drive to resort or a fly-in resort somewhere in Canada. I want to make this trip special to say thanks to the two people who taught me how to fish (my dad and brother). Any suggestions on resorts? Is there any time of year that is better than others? We like to fish for walleyes, northerns, and muskie.

Thanks,

Fishinglund

Hey Fishing Lund,

I am looking for the same thing. I am looking to take my 11 year old son on the best fishing trip I can possibly find to creat memories. I have never been there, but from what I am hearing Lac Seul is as good as it gets. I am in the process of booking a trip to Lac Seul Outfitters in the Chamberlain Narrows area. If anyone knows of any better drive-in/boat-in trip, I'm all ears!!

I would second Lac Seul outposts. Our group has been going for about 15 yrs. We always go in the end of june. This year we only got to fish one day because of the huge forest fire. however in the one day we caught a 10 1/2 pound walleye and 20 pound pike. The fishing around their camp is great, so even people new to the area can catch lots of fish without have to travel far. Kenny will always take good care of you. However from what I remember trying to book a time can be very difficult, with all the repeat customers. Good Luck

Fish head,

When you get to the camp, they will have a map for you. they will even mark the spots that will put you on the type of fish you are going after. Get used to the idea of pike hitting the walleye you are bringing in, because it happens alot. Good Luck to ya

They do provide a free copied map that kinda sucks but they do sell a much better map at the camp store. I brought my own which was the same as the one they sold. I purchased mine at Thorne Bros. One thing nice about the camp is that you don't need to travel far to catch walleyes. But if you get adventurous by all means get the good map and have a GPS. It's a big lake with lots of islands. You'll have a great time up there!!

Fish Head -
I was on Lac Suel this past Sept. Wow is all I can say. I will also be there over this coming fourth of July. I stay with my crew at Fisherman's Cove Resort. We strictly used minnows and had no problem catching 100+ fish per day per boat. We mainly drag spinners but found spots to jig them also. Be prepared for rough water! Also have a GPS with you, this is truly a lifesaver. Have fun, and maybe I will see you on the water!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
