Thanks dd.   I believe the portage would be back in that direction.  My brother caught this walleye fishing around an island shortly after completing the 625m portage. We used the Onnie entry, paddled in to Mexican Hat, and back out through Onnie.  My brother broke his ankle collecting firewood on Glenn Lake, so the trip out was interesting to say the least.   Didn't see any camp chairs when we stopped at the Mexi Hat site, but we did catch a number of nice walleye there.  We found awesome walleye fishing below every one of the nice falls along that route.

Sorry to hear about your brother's misfortune.  I can't imagine how you'd handle the 625 meter portage on a broken ankle and the portage out to the parking lot is not exactly a snap even WITH the boardwalk.

I hope your brother is doing well and on the road to recovery!  I'm assuming your brother broke his ankle on the way BACK to Glenn?

When I was fishing the outflow of Mexican Hat Falls, I had a chance to chat with the occupants of that campsite, who were relaxing, mid-morning, on the front "veranda" in their camp chairs.  They related that they had found them stashed back in the woods.  I assume they left them there when they departed.  They also put us on to a walleye hot spot further down the lake.  WOW!  Hot spot indeed!!! We fished that spot for perhaps 2 hours and I rarely had a period of over 2 minutes where I didn't have one on.  We finally moved off when we saw the party paddling down the lake toward us ... obviously looking for a bit of walleye fishing themselves.
