Need recommendations for fishing the Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness

j2nsf

Hello All,

My son and I are part of a Boys Scouts troop participating in a week long canoe trip through the Boundary Waters just north of Ely, MN. While doing research and getting prepped I found out that this is one of the premier fishing areas in the US. I haven't fished in lakes in many years so don't have any equipment. We would like specific recommendations on rods, reels, fishing line and lures to use in that area. Any recommendations for fish cooking gear and recipes are also appreciated.

Thanks

Likely any 12 - 20lb Spinning Combos would work great for your trip!

Ooh, I'm all about the fish recipes.

You can always go classic cooking and just grill it. Recipe below!

Or if you like a light sauce to bake it in and drizzle on the top, this is just a delicous recipe!

Enjoy the fish!!
