On any of a number of Ely area lakes, we pursue a variety of species, both winter and summer. Lake trout, trophy pike, bass, walleyes and panfish are all on the menu. We fish out in the open in winter, as weather allows, but also fish out of heated portable hub shelters for client comfort, and in cold weather those shelters are set up in advance, so there's no lingering outside in harsh temperatur
es. Lake trout, particularly in winter, are the most aggressive fish we've ever pursued through the ice. They will fly up and down the whole water column in pursuit of lures, and are strong and relentless fighters. There are crappies over 14", pike over 40" (with the largest so far 46.5"), and walleyes to 10 lbs. Summer rates are $400/full day and $300/half day for up to two anglers, with $50 for each additional angler. Winter rates are the same, except, because the days are short, only full day trips are offered. No smoking in ice shelters or the boat. In all seasons, I provide all gear, so all clients need to bring is licenses and whatever they want to eat, drink and wear. Take advantage of 50 years of fishing experience and 25 years of teaching experience. Come on up and have the trip of a lifetime on some of the most beautiful lakes in the boreal forest.
