Hey guys, just looking for a little help with where to go. We have been coming up for the last 10 years and mainly fish Vermilion. We love the lake but in the last 2-3 years it has gotten extremely crowded. We mainly smallmouth fish. We pull our own bass boats up from Oklahoma. We have fished Mille Lacs a couple of days and we spent a week on Rainy.
Are there other less pressured lakes with good smallmouth populations? We are all catch and release. I have read up some on Leech and it sounds like it is more largemouth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
