Finally my friends and I found out that we're on vacation on the same days; therefore, we plan to visit the boundary water. We are planning to come up there on August 8, 2003 in about a week, so if anybody could help us find an aviable permit or entry point to somewhere with small water and good fishing i would appreciate it. We prefer an entry point in the ely area or somewhere close and a non-motor route.

I know theres not much availabity, but we're trying to spend the last of our summer out of the cities and do a little fishing.

Thanks

I'm pretty much a Boundary Waters newbie, so I can't recommend a particular route or entry point, but here's where you can check which ones are available:

There doesn't look to be a ton of options on the 8th, but maybe try the following day or two as well.

Good luck, and try to post a trip report afterwards!
