Anybody know if people are driving trucks to the trout lake portage? Thanks!

[Cliff Wagenbach]

I heard that there is some traffic in that direction.

As long as we're talking about trout lake, can someone suggest a boat rental location for a summer trip into TL?  Would need 3 fishing boats for a 4 day trip in early june.  Thanks.

Try Shamrock Marina or Gruben's Marina. Both are fairly close to the Trout Lake Portage.

Birch point marine in Daisy also has had 25hp tillers for rent.  Believe it is under new ownership as of last fall.  Said they plan to offer the same services as the previous owners, so I would assume they will still have boat rentals.

Thanks.  I've emailed Randy.  On their webpage, Moccassin Point Marine advertises 25HP fishing boats specifically for TL.  Are they even in business anymore?   I rarely go through that channel....

[delcecchi]

That's not the outfit that sold out to the DNR back a few years is it?   I never go through that way....

VG- Thanks for the tip on Birch Point Marine.  I found 2 of the 3 boats I need there.

Greetings. Getting back on track. How is the travel to Trout lake with this big thaw the state is experiencing? Vehicle travel permitted? I would imagine there's a sloppy mess on the lake.

 

Thank you

Moccasin Point does rent 25s for Trout. Good, not great boats for the money.

If anyone is interested, here are the resorts I found that have 25 HP fishing boats for rent.

Grubens

Timbuktu

Moccasin Point

Birch Point

 

Other resorts may have them, but I found what I needed after calling a handful.  A few more that advertise 25 HP fishing boats on their web pages

Everett Bay Lodge

Retreat Lodge

Ludlows

 

And pretty much everyone has fishing boats for rent, but have more than 25 HP on their fleet.

 

Rates for the 25 HP boats range from $65/day to $100/day, mostly based on the quality/age/amenities on the boat.
