Hello,
I will be on Slim Lake in about a month, I have heard the fishing on the lakes listed in my subject line (Slim, Rice, Hook and Keneu) are Notorious for poor fishing.
Is there anyone out there that can verify if that is true or not?

Slim has bass, northern and walleye. I've caught some decent northerns and walleye on Slim, but few and far between. It's a very clear lake that might be best fished early morning or late evening. Rice has no fish. Hook has plentiful northerns but they are mostly on the small side and Keneu is about the same. If you're looking for northerns, head to Big Rice or Lapond. They are shallow lakes but they do hold some large northerns. I've also caught walleye on LaPond.

I'll echo some of this.
We just paddled through Big Rice but it didn't look like it was more than five feet deep. Slim we didn't fish at all. Three of us fished Hook & didn't do great, but my buddy did catch a northern the was 30+ inches. Small northern on Keneu.
I'd bow to the wisdom of egknuti but we beat LaPond to a froth for a night & never saw a fish; ditto Big Rice. Both seemed like they ought to hold fish.
The long portage to Big Rice was hard to follow at times when we were there & didn't look like it received much traffic at all, understandably.
Good luck!
