Anglers report that the smallmouth bass fishing is incredible in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, especially during the spring or early summer and the fall.
Because many of these lakes have a horsepower limit to 10 or 25 horsepower, the fishing is definitely a lot easier if you plan a trip here when the bass are all along the shorelines.
