| The BWCAW is known for its wide variety of fishing opportunities. In the deeper lakes, many of them in the northeast of the wilderness, lake trout are the most sought-after species. Lake trout, found in deep water once the weather and lake temperatures warm, can be found in shallow water in the spring and early fall.
Northern and walleye pike are present in most of the lake of the region, with the latter providing the main course of many a BWCAW shore-lunch. Northern pike are the easiest to catch as this major predator is one to strike first and ask questions later when it comes to your lure.
In selected lakes, anglers can find small-mouthed bass. Small-mouth fishing is best in the late-spring and early summer.
