If your love of the outdoors is strong, the weather doesn’t stop you. You just come prepared and brave through. With next week is projected to be in the 40 degrees, we would call this cold weather fishing. The fish are still there, where are you? Take a quick trip up to Ely and The Boundary Water Canoe Area and enjoy the chance at a trophy-sized catch! Just be sure to dress warm, our cozy lakeside cabins are a great fit for the night or a couple and your own private dock makes it easy to take your boat back out again. Our Resort near the BWCA is off of Farm Lake, which is connected to a chain of four others, called The White Iron Chain of Lakes, one of which has a BWCA entry point.
BWCA & Ely Fishing in the Fall
There are a lot of fish to be hooked, from the docks of our resort to the chain of lakes surrounding and the many lakes within Ely and the BWCA. When fishing, it is important to understand there are motor restrictions here. Because this is canoe country so there are restrictions in an effort to preserve the area. Regardless there are plenty of lakes to go around and fish in with a motor or with a paddle and there are plenty of fish not suspecting their dinner would turn them into yours. Unless they need to be thrown back, then it’s for thrills.
Cold Water Fishing
When the temperatures get colder the fish start swimming to deeper waters, where the temperatures are not so extreme. The best place to find fish, as the temps get cooler, is likely towards large underwater drop-offs and other deep spaces. And be sure your bait is big a juicy, to get the big fish to really want it.
