Come with us for our first Boundary Waters Ice Fishing Trip of 2022! We head out onto some questionable first ice for our first winter camping trip of the season. We head to Basswood Lake in search of walleyes and pike, but end up catching a few bonus whitefish and yellow perch before getting into some nighttime walleyes.
We head to Basswood using a new winter trail we have never taken before. The trail is grueling, as it is unmaintained, and the river travel is even sketchier. We are relieved once we get to Basswood, as the ice is much thicker and can support our weight for the rest of our travel to our fishing spot. A storm rolls through during the night, making fishing much more difficult and challenging, but the next day we wake up to a gorgeous sunny day, even though it is bone-chillingly cold out. Stay tuned for day 2 and 3 for some unbelievable scenery!
