La Verendrye Park

Heading up to the Park this weekend with my two sons. I haven't been there in 30 years! We are looking to wilderness camp on smaller lake as we only have a 14' boat. Would like to catch walleye and northerns. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Twister tail jigs tipped with worms seems to be the #1 lure for walleye. Trolling Rapalas, Thundersticks and worm harnesses has also been effctive. Pike go for the "usual suspects": Spoons, Mepps and topwaters. I was up there earlier this month and the northern eagerly swallowed Husky Jerks, speed trolled over deeper water. Hope you have good weather. We got lots of wind, lots of overcast and, as a bonus, snow on July 1st. The fishing, meanwhile, was terrific.

Good luck on the Park. I try to get up there every year at least once. There's a zillion small lakes in the Park boundaries. I've got tons of maps and info if you would like them emailed, let me know.
