Crane to Lac La Croix


Recommended Posts

Just wondering how long of a boat ride to get from Crane Lake to Lake Lac La Croix. I am staying at Waters Edge and would like to get to Lac La Croix and fish for some lakers....any comments or suggestions? Is it an all day trip or could I get there in a couple hours? I have a Lund Pro Sport with a 90hp.

Thanks!

Call Trent or Beth at Water's Edge. They have all the info and CONDITIONS. Water is extremely high and many docks are either under or very close to being under water in the entire area.

You can do it easily as a day trip. I've done it many times. Just go slow in the river until you know it because there are a few rocks you can hit. Most places you launch at Crane someone would be there who could tell you the several to watch for on a basic map. It's a beautiful and unique ride with portages and all. We were in there a few years ago and saw a guy catch an honest to goodness 35 lb northern trolling big Rapala's with his wife in a biege fiberglass tri-hull!!

      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.
