Not sure about campsites, but isogun has been crazy good for walleye numbers. Small walleyes erupt from the lake and just seem to jump right into your boat.

Iosegen has a better campsite from what I have been told by some locals. Smoke has lots of walleye to.

Never fished Smoke in summer but nailed a few 8 and 9 lb. whites there ice fishing. Was told by a local the NW end of the lake is good for walleye year round. East end is shallow.

Thanks for the help guys! Yeah it's deffinatly for work! Haha! We went with iosegun. Nice little spot!campground had 4 spots available when I got here and now it's full for the weekend! We found a couplle good walleye spots on the way to the big point but couldn't make it there in the little trolling motor powered pontoons! Gotta find a closer place to put the boats in! Maybe we can bribe one if the lucky cabin owners over there with some beer?[emoji41]

as an add-on, Smoke Lake had some great walleye and pike fishing throughout the lake, an earlier poster mentioned it was shallow in the east end, in my early days of fishing fished thru the east end with a thing called a mepps combo killer, basically a spinner rig, ie a mepps spinner that had attached an arm inline with a jig body, akin to spinner rigs of today, we had no idea what we were doing but attached some big shiners we caught near the boat launch there and caught walleye after walleye in the eastern bay shallows trolling this rig, pretty sure without weights on it, years later went back and fished weed beds on the far shore from the launch and tossed rattling cranks into the weeds which were nailed, i say nailed by hungry walleyes and pike
