My Roommate and I did the 5 Finger route last September by canoe. I'd advise getting a USGS topo map of the area. It made finding the Keyhole and the Amygdaloid trail a lot easier. From the Keyhole entering into the channel turn head towards Amygdaloid Island on a slight angle to the left or go ...

I'll be heading across the island from Windigo to Rock Harbor, so any lakes really. I'll check for other threads as well. Thank you.

I know this maybe be against the fisherman's code haha, but I'm just looking to hook into some decent fish while I'm on the island in mid May. If anyone would be willing to share some tips it would be greatly appreciated, if not I understand. I will be on foot but no lake is to far to bushwack too ...

Thanks for the help. I'm looking into maybe the Nemo Astro.

I'm currently looking to replace my old bulky Coleman sleeping pad and have had issues with previous open cell pads developing holes during my adventures. So I was wondering what some of your preferences are for the island? Maybe pros and cons?

Thanks for your input, it has helped me lose a few ounces. I suppose I should make a spread sheet also so I can see where else I can drop a little more weight.

Has anyone fished these two lakes at all? Any ideas of what species of fish each one has? I'm looking at spending a night at each and planned on doing a little fishing but would like to make sure its worth my time. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for everyone's input on good multi-use items to help minimize on the pack weight. Any help would be great.

Ill be leaving out of Marquette, MI on the 11th as of right now I think lol.

haha thanks. good call

Where could I find some Information on this?

Haha heres my reasoning and my plan..... Ok so I have a short window before I start an internship back here in Marquette that begins on May 21st and I get done with school on the 4th.

I'm in the process of planning out a trip to the island and plan on starting at Windigo on May 12th and then from there make my way towards Rock Harbor to catch the Queen heading back to Copper Harbor on the 18th. I was just curious to see if anyone else has trips planned during that time?

I just started to throw together my second Isle Royale trip. I'm planning to jump on the Voyager from Grand Portage on May 12th for Windigo. I'm coming from Marquette, MI and plan to take the bus from Marquette to Duluth on May 11th. I was wondering if anyone might know of any public transportation ...
