Looking to put in at Johnson or Onnie entries and fishing early june.  Where should be paddle?  We mostly base camp somewhere and fish.  Thanks for your help.

Didn't fish Onnie or Hjlarmar(s) on my way out last year, but I did fish Telescope, Glenn and Mexican Hat in that area.  (I skipped fishing Optic along that route due to high wind and rain when I was going through.)  You should be able to do Laker, Walleye and Pike on all of these lakes, but I focused my fishing a bit with the follow results:

Telescope:  Lakers
Glenn: Walleye
Mexican Hat: Walleye

Apparently there are some "Blue" Walleye along the Telescope to Onnie chain, but I didn't turn any.

Hatchet Lake may be what you are looking for. It is only four portages and most groups would need about a half day to get there. The park info lists Walleye, Lake Trout and Northern Pike for Hatchet Lake. A nice size and shape for base camping and fishing. The park campsite map shows two sites. The campsite on the main body is 2 miles up the lake from the Douglas Portage and 1 mile from the portage to Peterson Lake. UTM15U 408351 5649157.There is room for two small tents near the water but when I first visited I went up into the trees and threw the fallen wood aside and set up there. It is on a small point and should have good breezes. The other campsite is at the portage to Peterson and would have no breeze.

There is a private cabin near the Douglas Portage. There are also boats cached at the Douglas Portage. I am not an avid fisherman so cannot give any rating on how good the fishing is. I have been there 3 times and have never seen another person on the lake.

Thanks for all your help.  That is some fish.  squigman wrote on Feb 15^th, 2011 at 7:51pm:
