I read in the Sawyer County Record that the Pasitka family holds the mortgage. They foreclosed on the current owners, so the shop ended up back in the Pasitka family. The Pastikas are now trying to...

I have been musky fishing since I was 12 years old. I have to say the new guys on the block are too secretive! I have always shared my information without worry someone was going to "fish it out". ...

Why do you say that?

Is it some kind of big secret?

I just watched both episodes and it was great! I haven't been up to the area since 2007. What was the name of the lake in the second episode, I didn't notice you guys mention it, just that it was a...

I have always drifted and fished with the wind. It wasn't until I purchased an actual fishing rig, (Alumacraft 165), that I actually started to use the trolling motor in conjunction with the wind to...

Looks like a lot of work to make a lure. I always wondered how people get started doing this. How do they make the molds that he is using?

Ty, did you hand carve your wood pacemakers? With the...

Thanks Ty,

I didn't even think of that and I watched them make Cowgirls last year.

Hy Ty, I know a lot of people have reccomended and I have also learned that a green bladed bucktail works best on the Flowage. I have had fantastic luck with big pike on Delavan, (That's where I...

I agree with Ty, the most action I've seen on the Chip has been during the second half of June. The largest muskies I've seen have been during the second half of August.

Ouch!! That image hurt!

I'm with you Cold Front, I fish whenever I can and don't worry about any tables or scientific data. I'm out there not only to catch a fish, but to enjoy the outdoors.

"A bad day fishing is...

I use Linder's gloves on all my pike and muskies. I learned many years ago in Canada, even smaller pike have sharp teeth! Now I don't take the chance of interrupting my fishing to go to the...

Hey Ty, you need to update your tackle dealers' page. Kolar Bait and Tackle went out of business the beggining of this year. Lee's Bait and Tackle are the new owners.

April 15th - Tax Day!

I remember back in the late '70s hitting that when it was under water. My wife and I camped down on an island off of the South end of Big Timber, and a couple of times I struck it with my motor.

I love seeing these pictures. I haven't been on the Flowage since June of '07. I hope to spend a day there in September when my friends and I come up to Lost Land.

Ty,

If the flowage is at normal pool, how much water usually covers it?

I'm recovering from left hand Carpul(?) tunnel Surgery. We had 55 degree weather last weekend and all of the Illinois Lakes have open water! I am shooting for 3/28 to get my boat out on the Fox...

I've been fishing the Flowage for over 30 years, mostly in mid-Summer, and I have never been able to find shearpin bar! I guess I've been lucky not to have hit it, because I've gone through there...

My first lure was a Cisco Kid Topper. I bought it the day after our first guide trip with Bruce Tasker in 1971. I raised a musky with Bruce on his Topper out at Birch Island just before quitting...

Hello Ty! It was great finnally meeting you and Rachel at the show.

I picked up a Medusa, three Ducktail medium sized spinners, and the Walleye Pacemaker. I didn't want to go overboard and have...

I just read your post about Mark. I don't know why but I just googled his name and found this. I met Mark over 30 years ago when I camped on the Chippewa Flowage. Mark only worked there about 3...

Nice Colors Ty. I'll be at the show on Friday and I will stop by to say hello. I have been following this board for a couple of years now. You may remember me from June of 2007, I passed you going...

I don't have a Ranger, but I have an Alumacraft that weighs about 1,000 lbs. and I have a 60 HP 4-stroke Yamaha on it, the max would have been 75. I am extremely pleased with the Yamaha after owning...
