Conmee Lake (QPP-Ontario)

[Guest]

I will be flying into Beaverhouse in August and paddling back to Ely a week later. I was wondering if any of you have ever done a fly-in canoe trip inside the park before? I fish Darky, Brent, Conmee and some of the other lakes in that area. On Conmee Lake it is not uncommon to catch up to 5 walleyes over 30" in a single day with two people per canoe. If anyone has ever fished the lakes in Quetico I would appreciate chatting with you.

Rigaman...Babbitt hey! At least you have Birch Lake. I'm guessing you work in Ely? I lived on Birch lake right next to the access for a year while I was going to VCC.

Alaskander70,

I made it up to Conmee on an eight day trip last spring. We never fly-in, just portage and paddle our way into the heart of the wilderness.

The winter was long last year, and as a result the walleyes were extremely slow on Conmee. We still caught some nice fish, though, including some good smallmouth. If you are going in before July, I'd recommend doing some lake trout fishing on Sarah or MacIntyre as well if you are in that area. What lakes are you planning on fishing?

Obsessed...If I can make the trip it would be in August, so I would be missing out on the great Spring laker fishing and most of the current walleye fishing. I have paddled up the Horse River and gone into the park that way, but I will be pressed for time this year because of my research up here in AK. Most of our Salmonid runs take place in July here in the interior and that forces a very narrow window for me to come back to MN and fish open water.

My plan was to fly into Beaverhouse and travel through --> Quetico, Jean, Sturgeon, Pooh bah, conmee, Brent, McIntyre, Sarah, North Bay-(Basswood). If I am pressed for time I will just paddle up from Ely. Beaverhouse is too far West for me to be time efficient.

Next to Ted lake is a lake I call fishhook lake, it is shaped like a fishhook and has fantastic Laker fishing. Whenever I am on Agnes I usually try fishing Dack lake for Trout if it's in the spring, not huge fish, but lots of them.
