Ely Minnesota Fishing, Ely MN Fishing Resort

 

Get your tackle box out of winter storage. The fishing season opens earlier here than in most parts of Minnesota. With the retreat of winter in early May, the spring thaw leaves our icy-cold waters alive with trophy-sized species, enticing avid anglers eager to get a line into the water. So, whether you're seeking tonight's dinner or a trophy for the den wall, we offer an ideal setting for your fishing vacation.

 

Many Ely vacationers enjoy the northwoods waters for their angling opportunities. Known for its walleye, northern pike, small and largemouth bass and slab size panfish, Ely's waters can be extra productive with the help of one of our fishing guides. Our guided trips are designed to put you directly over some of northern Minnesota's best producing waters and fishing holes. Our guides will tell you which bait and lures will work, and how to use them effectively. Fish all day, only breaking for a delicious shore lunch of the morning's catch prepared by your guide. Don't let this fishing opportunity escape you. When fishing with a guide, your chance of landing more and bigger fish is greatly increased.
