I work in Ely during the summer, If I were you I would spend the first part of your trip make the push up the river and spend a few nights on Clear. Then go back down and spend a of couple nights on Gabbro. Both are good walleye lakes, The river is awesome for smallies. Another option would be just to do the full triangle river loop. I’m 99 percent sure if you go down to Bald Eagle that’s all still barren wasteland from the fires. Bring two rods, Pike will be easy to find, walleye will really vary at that time depending on what happens with the weather this spring. Anything 6-8 windblown is a good bet. Bugs will most likely be awful at that time, you get used to it after a while.
