It is a short, (50 meters), uphill portage on an old trail. In past years we have taken one of the camp's smaller spare boats up there for the day. The fishing there is usually fast-paced with eater size walleye (i.e. 16-18 inches) and for a small lake it has a lot of variation with two islands, a channel between the island and the mainland, and a creek coming in the west side of it. We have gotten some 20" to 24" walleye out of there and a few larger northern, trolling lures. However, this trip we took a canoe and oared across Leoni to the back of it. We took a less clear, but four minute (walking with a canoe upside-down) walk to the lake past Leoni which has a depth of 49 feet on a detailed map of Red Lake. At camp we call this Whitson Lake. Here, the fishing was excellent. We stayed about 15 feet off of shore. My brother casted lures in toward shore and caught northern and I casted a yellow grub on a jig head out and caught walleye. The fish were all 17" or bigger and nicely colored. This year we also took a boat into Coin Lake, which we tend to do once a year for fun. We always catch fish and normally see a moose. Last year a 44" muskie was caught out of there. That was it for portages this year; the rest of the week we were tearing it up on Red or Parker.
