My pat answer to the Walleye- Laker question has always been Royd- Irvine. Royd and it close neighbor Constellation have the Lakers. Royd can be flown to until the rules change -When?? Leaving Royd and heading north and then NW will have you on a Walleye lake in three portages. Two more portages and back to Walleye for the long open water passage to the north end of Irvine. Irvine is a fly-in lake at the present time. The trouble with fishing for walleye on Irvine is those 40inch Jack that start towing your canoe around! I have seen a lot of Walleye caught on Irvine but never any really big ones. I will never forget the father son team where the son turns to his dad and says "Dad, I have never caught fish like this."

The portages are not marked on the park map but I can get you all the info on that and campsites. Before the fire all the portages had been cleared and blazed by park staff.

The Red124 fire has impacted some of the portages up there so it may prevent use early next year.
