I was just curious if there were any good walleye lakes on the Cedar Narrows Road. I am sure there has to be, but I don't know names, or where. Just looking for something to carry a canoe or a 12' boat into for a little fun. Mainville/cuddle has been slow, I am tired of fishing Rainy. Just looking for a little lake to spend wednesday on.

Thanks in advance guys!

For future reference Pickwick has a decent walleye bite on most days. Pickwick has a good ramp, although it is somewhat steep. I haven't been back to Straw in 5 years, but the ramp was in good conditon then. Timberwolf Resort should be able to give you some current information. They are located almost at the Cedar Narrows Road junction with 502. Straw would be my pick for walleyes. Essox has great smallmouth bite and there are some lakers to be had.

The main road curves right around the lake. There is not a boat launch, you have to take a small boat and carry it across the road. It is a smaller lake Southwest of Vista on the map(not named on my map, but I think there is a sign along the road). The ramp on Straw is pretty shallow after all the heavy rains a few years back, a roller trailer works best.

Hey Bill,

You won't have a problem getting into straw with a 12', but if anyone is trying with a bigger boat or with one with bunks - you may have a problem.

Superbee is right the ramp is very shallow tappering and you need to be out about 50yds before it drops off.

Good Luck

Last year we hit Straw/Sucan and it was a great time. Friday, I'd like to hit Pickwick before we go to Outfitter's Outpost cabin on Manitou. Anyone have any tips on fishing Pickwick?

Thanks,

Similar,

I would also pick up some crawlers just to be safe. From what I have been seeing the past few days the bite is starting to swing to crawlers around here and on the small warmer lakes it might have already switched. I am heading to straw on Saturday, so we will find out.

Hey Craig,

I am heading over there on saturday with 2 bunk trailers. There is a hole off to the right of the landing where the trailer drops down into. It worked good a couple of weeks ago when I was there, I am assuming with all the rain we have gotten the past few days the water will be up and getting in will be no problem.

The important thing is that you will be able to drop the boat in with the 2wd.

Dont worry about getting it out...Matt probably needs a portage boat on that lake anyway smile

Thanks Hoffer,

Unfortunately, my "fish" brain thinks like that sometimes! smile

Hey, cant remember if you are up there by now - or leaving soon??

Either way - hope the trip goes great - and I look forward to a full report and of course pics when you get back.

Wish I could run up for a few days and join you - but just got back from Chicago and have more travel this week...so it isnt in the cards. I am jealous. Catch lots of fish, have fun - and most importantly - safe travels.

      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.

      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.
