Some of the smaller lakes won’t have boat launches though, so you’ll need to drop a rowboat in. The town of Pickle Lake put in boat launches at Mud Lake (Badesdwa), Menako Lake, Pipestone River and Mawley Lake. There are several fly-in fishing outposts that also offer some excellent fishing for walleye, pike, lake trout and even brook trout.
