Washburn County

Heading up to Bond-Leader lakes in Washburn county the end of the month. Never been there but I assume there are pike, walleye and panfish in them. Girlfriend's uncle lives on the lake. She has never caught a walleye or pike and wants one bad. I believe he has a pontoon. Was also thinking about canoeing the Namekagon. Sounds like a beautiful river but tough to find fish from what little info I can find on the net. I was considering bringing my canoe but it looks like there are reasonable canoe rentals (Jacks?) in the area. Any tips will be appreciated.

my wife is from Washburn county (Hayward area)........I have fished the river several times and caught pretty good numbers of walleye and small....smallmouth bass.
