A buddy and I are debating heading up to fish Ann on Saturday. I have never fished it during soft water so I was wondering if it only has that one tiny landing with 5 parking spots? What time would a guy have to get there to secure a spot at the landing? Is there another access on the lake a person could use if the one is full? I would hate to drive an hour to find the landing full.

there is only the one real landing by the bar there.....there is a acess point right off 47 and the bridge but not sure you could launch a boat there.

i havent been there for a couple of years but there is an access there and i believe it was upgraded last year and is asphalt. call the dnr fisheries office in hinkley for landing information. i had no problem there the last time i was there but get there early if you have to drive an hour and you should have no problem.

good panfish in the lake. a good spot is where the river comes in. fish the weedlines there and other parts of the lake. i ice fish the lake more than open water but you should get some panfish for the plate. walleys are harder to find. there are some nice pike and bass also. good luck.

Yeah, the landing on the west side of the lake is nice but small. I did see people parking in the parking lot of the closed down business a stones throw away. I bet if it was open and you slipped them some $ they would let you park in their lot after launching? Guess I will call the DNR. Is their website back up yet? This would mark the first time the shutdown may affect me. lulz

Ended up going to Clearwater instead last weekend. Caught a ton of LM Bass. They were stacked in one area and we pulled 25 + fish in a few hours. Lots of fun but I still wish I would have given Ann a try instead. This weekend I will fish Ann for sure on Saturday if the weather cooperates. How has the fishing been? What species and depth would you try? I have yet to fish this lake in the summer so I am really looking forward to it.

BTW if you're heading to Clearwater be prepared for a completely different lake than normal because of the high water - must be up 7 feet from normal.

Was on Ann three weeks ago. One small crappie and a sheepshead. That was two separate trips. Warm water shallow lake is not a good combo.

      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.

      Recommended SW Metro Lake for Bass

      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.
