Flour Lake on the Gunflint

[minnesotahusker]

Heading up to Flour Lake on the Gunflint Trail for the rest of the week and part of next. Just wondering if anyone has any fishing reports, namely on the walleye and pike. Oh, what the heck, how about the lake trout also. Thanks.

i haven't fished flour in years. the most recent dnr survey done in 2008 doesn't look promising on paper. walley were small and only 1 pike was netted. poor spawning conditions for pike. walleys are stocked. lake trout that were netted were small exept for one around 29in. with the high tullibee/cisco populations present the dnr states flour has the potential for large trout. the smallies were good sized that they surveyed however. so thats what i seen on the survey but maby someone has some recent info that could help you more. i posted this cause i saw no response to your request for info so far. good luck.

i might throw out another idea for you. i often stay at a campsite and fish the lake i'm on and others around the area. there is so much to choose from i'm sure you will have success somewhere close to flour if not on flour itself. the beauty of the gunflint stands alone regardless of any other factor. good luck.

Camping on flour is fine, but I wouldn't waste time fishing it. Go to nearby hungry jack or west bearskin...much better quality/quantity fishing there.

It seems to me that I heard bobber fishing around the small island in front of the landing may be good towards evening on Flour. Wouldn't hurt to try. Good luck and enjoy the great Gunflint area. Junky...
