[beckmanator1]

If anyone can tell me any helpful information on any of these lakes i would be grateful what to fish for and where to fish Thanks, or if anyone suggest some other starting point in the BWCA !

Homer lake is loaded with northerns...mostly hammer handles, but you get a few 5 pounders and up. Someone introduced smallies into the lake in the last 6 or 7 years also, and they've taken off.

I don't have a map handy, but I believe axe lake is connected to homer on the west end...I imagine it has the same mix of fish. And if you want to take this route, brule lake is just a bit farther up the road.
