First Ely Trip - Farm Lake
Will be in July which, in looking over old threads, apparently is not the best time to go to the boundary waters for fishing...still I am going and hope to catch a few fish while there.
Does anyone have any Farm Lake fishing stories? I bet that onemorecast and Geo have been there but I would welcome input from anyone who wants to weigh in.
How would you fish Farm Lake in July?

Ive been there during that time. We fished with spinnerbaits and crankbaits for smallies. I flyfish so i took some fly gear as well. Caught some very nice fish, but not as many as i thought. Although the quality was nice. Saw tons of muskies, wish i had taken muskie gear. Gonna pull out my old maps and see where we did well and didnt. We did a seven day trip that was a blast. Even though fishing wasnt fanatastic, still one of my fav vacations and ive been all over the world. Watch out for insects, i recall getting lit up.

Forgot to add that we stayed/started our adventure with tom&woods. But it was over 15 yrs ago and i think they have changed owners since.
Re: First Ely Trip - Farm Lake
thanks Ddot, when you say spinnerbaits do you mean the inline kind or the double bladed spinner baits?
Re: First Ely Trip - Farm Lake
Geo has probably been there and he can probably help you out. He is up there right now and should be back Saturday night and will probably post on here then or Sunday.
edited yo add: Next Saturday or Sunday. I believe they were suppose to enter the park this morning.
Re: First Ely Trip - Farm Lake
I stayed on Farm for 5 yrs while doing carpet work for the resort owners for stays. Farm isn`t that great,,White Iron and garden are better places to fish. Get ahold of me and I can save you alot of time looking. I`ve fished those lakes hard and know them like the back of my hand. But Farm,White Iron and Garden are all connected by a river. If you don`t know where the shollow parts are you`ll hurt something.I got another little lake I`d want you to try that is close that is full of Big smallies and alot of 8-12 lb walleye
