The TFF is the body of water that is most targeted by the Indians to spear. The numbers reflect that. It isn't just that number of female walleyes speared, it's those speared before they have...

Check back if your family has any native Indian heritage. If so, maybe you could do some spearing?

I have a question. Our group comes up to the TFF twice a year. We have up to 9 guys and we walleye fish. Since there is a "Big Walleye" trophy involved, all big fish are kept alive until everyone...

Just wondering if anyone knows how many walleyes were speared this spring on the TF?. Also, is the limit still 3? Will be up there with our group in a couple of weeks. Sounds like crawlers are...

I made a comment on my trolling string that most guys who troll are just motoring around. They take a seat, crack open a beer and start the motor and they're "fishing". There were several comments...

Aaahhh memories. Back then some guys carried pistols in the boat and large muskies were shot after a battle before being brought on board. This had to be our first year at the TFF, 1960 and my dad...

Hi Nick - So you've banged up a prop. I have a feeling you're not alone. Our spring trip is the first week of June, so tonight the 3 of us with boats are getting together to replace the trailer...

On one matter, I do agree with the St. Croix Kid. The memories. I do wish I had taken photos of the flowage itself rather than just the fish we caught. You cannot believe the logs and trees (yes...

Seems we have a lot of passion on this issue, both for and against. How easy do we want fishing to get? Sonar, Side Imaging Sonar (in case you don't go exactly right over the fish), under water...

Trolling is not for the true fisherman. You call yourself a fisherman, but the motor allows you to catch fish. I realize that professional fishermen troll, but they're pretty much forced to. They...

Trolling is legal statewide in 2015. In 17 counties (including Iron County), you are limited to 1 line per fisherman, and 2 lines per boat. The other 55 counties are the regular 3 lines per...

We're heading up to the TFF next Friday for our fall trip. Usually make this trip in mid September, but stuff was going on for some of us this year. I'm just hoping there is still open water in the...

Hi Don,

Did the major mayfly hatch ever happen? I don't recall anyone mentioning that and usually it's a big deal. Wondering if the weather was so weird this year that it happened gradually and...

The possession limit statewide is 10 walleye. 5 per day x 2. It does not matter where you are staying....if you are in a cabin on shore. Reason being - how could a DNR Game Warden prove the fish were...

The possession limit for people in a cabin is the same as the state wide limit (daily limit of 5 x 2) which is 10 per person. If you are camping and not in a cabin with a freezer, the possession is...

Yeah, it sucks that the walleye limit is 2 right now, but that could still change to 3 (not ideal, but better). Our group comes up twice a year - spring and fall - and we pretty much agree the...

When heading out from the resorts towards the Big Waters you pass the dam. After that are 2 islands
that most boats travel between. This photo is off the shore of the island on the left facing...

I'm not making a guess as to when the ice will be gone. I'm already thinking about rescheduling our trip from mid May to July!

I do have a question. If the ice goes out after opening day, how does...

I've caught walleyes in water over 20' deep. Many times. One of my favorite tactics is to vertical jig with a feather jig and a crawler. I use a stinger hook and tail hook the crawler. It's a good...

When you think this entire spearing thing through, you realize the indians are flat out stupid. In the eartly 80's (prior to spearing), there were hundreds of resorts on all these lakes, and they...

Did the flowage dry up? Is no one fishing? This site has been extremely quiet for the past couple of weeks.

Need to see some fishing news. Winter is driving me nuts.

I hate to sound stupid, but where on the flowage is Flambeau Vista Resort. Coming up there since 1960, you would expect me to know that, but I don't.

I know of a ton of places to fish, and I guess...

Just wondering what we are looking at and where the camera is located.

Thank you.

Hi Don,

I have a simple question. It seems to me that years ago a guy could stumble onto crappies as he walleye fished. We fished Blair lake several years ago and really nailed the crappies in...

Love your messages MM!

I too am kind of an old timer. Been going to the TFF since 1960 when I was 13. That was when they marked the channel up to the dam with red flags on top of logs. Stay...
