[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON May-25-06 AT 07:13PM (EST)[/font][p]My 2 favorite Spots are Green Island Resort on Lake Manitou and Bear Lake Wilderness Camp.
Green Island is a Fly in and Bear lake is a boat in and a bit closer to KEntucky than Green Island by about 7 hours driving and a few hours shorter flying since you have to fly into Duluth and then into International Falls.
Bear Lake is on the edge of a Wilderness area and has leases on lakes and ponds in the wilderness area.. Walk in only lakes. Some seldom see fishermen. Big Black Bear Population and you can also hunt bear here in season. High Percentage of success at this resort. It is owned by a Kentuckian Bill Drane retired Colonel from the US Military. http://www.blwc.com
He runs a top notch place. http://www.1fghp.com/on.html to see links of both places...
Green Island is where Fishin.com staff has gone in the past. The lake is Fly In only. Comes with a cabin and a boat with gasoline for 3 or 4 days. Absolutely GREAT smallmouth, pike and occasional walleye, but the real treat here is that there are RECORDED World Record Muskie swimming in the lake. Regular catches of muskie over 45 inches come from this lake.
Then there is the Terrific LAKE Trout fishing. I highly recommend taking some gulp twister tails for this..with simple jigs.
