My suggestion would be to get off the entry point lakes. As in strap the rod to the canoe, or whatever your portage system is, and leave them there until you get to the lake you want to be on. A line in the water is just going to slow you down.
You could go in on Kawishiwi and get to Polly. I know Malberg has the best walleye fishing in the area, but you are not going to want to go that far for a day trip. Brule is a beautiful lake and South Temperance is a long paddle, but it is very possible to do a there and back in one day and has lots of walleye.
I'm not as familiar with the Ely side, but keep in mind that there are a lot of people with the same thought. Get further in to find lakes with reduced fishing pressure.

How the dickens to you get there??

You have two options: Take the Moose River to Big Moose or you can portage in using the hiking trail-I've done both.
