Garden/White Iron pike/bass fishing help?

[bigdriver]

How is pike and bass fishing on garden and white iron lakes? Going in a couple weeks. Thanks

I got back from a trip there a couple of weeks ago. I have been going there for about 10 years. I don't target pike but usually catch a couple every year. One year I didn't catch any.

This year I caught more pike than walleye. My 5 year old caught a 30" and the guy in the next cabin caught a 44". Where are you staying and do you have your own boat?

bigriver, welcome to HSO/FM. Great to have you here!

While I live in Ely, I don't fish those lakes for those species. I changed the title of your thread so folks looking in will know the species and lakes you're looking for info on.

Good luck up here. Sure is great country to fish in.

[bigdriver]

thank you. but why dont you fish them?

[Steve Foss]

I spent a million years targeting bass and pike, but I moved to Ely after I got addicted to lake trout fishing, and whenever laker season is open that's what I tend to fish for.

I do fish pike in winter a lot before laker season opens in January, but haven't fished on the White Iron chain. Birch Lake, between Babbitt and Ely, is the best pike fishery this side of Vermilion, with both numbers and size, and I concentrate my pike efforts there.
