Location: one foot over the line | I have been up and in there over 10 times and i have yet to see any, tons of pike though. I have always gone fairly deep in and that might make a difference, perhaps some of the outlining lakes have them, I'm not sure. |

Location: Minneapolis | East Pike has them. I've caught and seen a few there. That's the only lake within the BWCAW that has them for certain. At least according to the DNR surveys. I've poked around quite a bit trying to find them. Lac La Croix possibly, as it's connected by water to Crane Lake, which has them. But La Croix is upstream with a waterfall or two in between, so it would be a tough journey. |
