I'm not looking for any spots or anything but are there any walleyes in Lake Edward? I'm going to be at a cabin on the west side of the lake this weekend and looking for any tips I can get since time on the water will be limited. Do cranks work? Is there a weedline or mostly gravel? Has anyone ever had luck bobber fishing from a dock on that end of the lake? I have no idea what that shoreline looks like and if a guy could bobber fish from the dock for walleyes.

I have fished Edward quite often, the only spot I will give you is straight out, vere a little S.E. towards the middle is a long, wide in places sand and gravel bar.Nite time is bobber time, you will see other boats there. Either cranks or lindy rigs work well off the deeper sides of the bar during the early or late periods of the day, the N.E. and east side are the best I think. Go up to Dave;s sportshop on 371, spend a few bucks there and ask about the lakes in the area.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I'm not looking for anyone to spit out their favorite spots. Just an idea of what to do much like you just stated. Do you think I can bobber fish off the dock after dark on the west side or is it only a couple feet deep 60 feet from shore?

The west side is very shallow .I dont think you will get much bobber fishing , maybe a bass or two. However cranks along the west shore line brake after dark can be good . Just my two cents worth.Good luck. Wes

      Back when the DNR was seining our beach in July I asked, and apparently they were through oak narrows.   But long way to go to get to us.   I'll keep my eyes open and my mask and snorkel on.  Didn't see any sign off them this summer.

      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 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.
