A special place...Lockport


Recommended Posts

Well I got back from a weekend of fishing up in Lockport with some buddies, and the fishing was absolutely phenomenal for us! 100 fish, 4 guys, 2 days of fishing! I think I have experienced some of the best fishing possible in my first trip north of the border for kitties! The highlight was at the dam where my fishing partner and I landed 24 cats in 2 hrs, nothing under 31 inches!

I got a PB that was 38-1/4" and 30+lbs! Just the shear size and power of fish after fish was unreal!

Here's a few pics...

Awesome pics! I wonder if I could find that spot? wink.gif I think I may have even caught a fish or two in that exact spot!

Congrats on a great trip. Don't suppose you'll be going back ever again, huh? wink.gifgrin.gif

Centre pillar but then I have done well other times on the 2nd pillar and 1st one too, it all depends on the flow. We only fished the dam on Sat then headed north to see new sights and fished Reids on sunday.

Yes, Lockport is a special place it is the memories of fishing with GREAT guys that help make those memories, thanks guys.

      Nice job Troy.   We are happy with our opening day for ducks.  2 man limit of mixed species by 10am.  LOTS of people where we were today but that was expected.  Other than getting beat to our spot, no issues that would keep up away.  Not even the rain.

      Thanks, I'm riding this now "TW200 pictuer wouldn't post" so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.

      Was up Tuesday and Wednesday this week for a UHV ride to Ely.  Made it out fishing for a few hours those days.  Walleye bite for me was fairly slow but I was only using leftover crawlers.  Most others I saw were using minnows so maybe they were having better luck.  Fall colors should be at peak on Vermilion.  Weather doesn't look the greatest however. Good luck and enjoy the fall season on the lake.
