BWCA 2023, EP 30 - Kawishiwi Lodge to Lake Three! (Part 1 of 2)

[@jimg6261]

Liked the video! I've put in on Lake One several times (stayed at the same bunkhouse as you did at Frank's place!). Each time I've been through, we've been able to paddle straight through from Lake Two to Three--you had to portage? Last year, we stayed on the south end of Three also. Our site was just over from yours--the one on the point south of the portage to Horseshoe Lake and close to the Pow Wow Trail. Also a very nice site. Our early-August fishing in that area was not as good as yours was. A jig and a leach under a slip bobber is also my favorite way to fish the BWCA and we tried all around those islands and channel but did not come up with anything. Nice video capture of the fish swimming (sunfish!!) before they bit your hook. I'll bet they were good eating!

Couple of drought years will do that! The flowages between 1,2 and 3 were shallow and rocky. There was water moving but we didn’t want to chance it. The walleye bite was lucky I think. We had favorable winds pushing baitfish into our bay. The sunnies were so good. Just pesky to clean.

When talking about "4 and 5 star" ratings, where does one find them??
