I replied to your to echo about 9 a.m. its after 5 and still isn't there, it says it is but it is not. It took 2 days last time for them to show and if I ever wanted to clue you in on hot bite it would be over. I'm not complaining this site is great. You seem real interested in this beatiful area. Ely was my first love in 1970 then the gunflint you should venture into all areas of the arrowhead. I'm not quite retired yet but if you haven't noticed I live about in between the two. Enough I can go on and on.
I knew where I wanted to live.

Bean will be your first destination it is over two miles up and down hills, remember I said it is in mountain like scenery. Don't use the hiking trail unless you want magnificent scenery. Don't use the big parkng lot if you are on foot go 1/2 mile, there is a small pullover where the snomobile trail crosses. I have walked there from my house and I wouldnt pull anything. I also have an ATV and sleds, I really wanted to go to bean last weekend. No snow - Trails closed. If they aren't grooming, what is wrong with ATV travel? I pay on two 500 & 120 sleds and a 500 sportsman. Why can't I and you have access to all the trails? I also have snowshoes and can't use them either. I think I'm to old for skiing.
Hope this p everybody off because I can't reply.
Mnfisher maybe e-mail but then we're not a discusion groups.
as long as brookyguy is typing i'll put my other reply to you he's got religion class so he's got to hurry.

The lakes in the area are like all others-hot at times you should have been here last week
I have fished a lot of them a little concentrated on one that I forgot the name of.
My best fishing around middle of aug.til freeze up. We took the dock with 6'' of snow, a beautiful day, Brookyguy was in his t-shirt. When other start hunting it is a good time (you can do both) only a few lakes have crappies & gills mainly wally & nothern lakes and quite a few nice trout lakes. If you come up this weekend and fishing is slow on echo you might want to swing over to divide DNR stocks it with rainbow and in 98 started splake. Real close to Isabella.

ludy,

Yes, I'm interested in the area. We bought a cabin on Thomas last spring and I want to explore the lakes, streams and do some trout fishing and in Lake Superior too. I will probably semi-retire in less than 2 years and maybe move up to Thomas Lake. I told my wife, now I don't have to die and go to heaven....I've found it here on earth!! The winter's get long though and my wife doesn't like fishing like I do. What lake are you on? Bean and Bear sound great and I want to get there sometime but it sounds kind of hard without a snowmobile. I do plan on getting to Echo on Saturday and might give Divide a try if Echo is slow. Thanks very much and keep in touch! Jim
