Travis- It is actually largemouth bass, not smallmouth bass. If you want to see where the DNR is doing something about it- look at the Chippewa flowage. They have taken the size limit off on LMB...

Got back yesterday from 4 days on the chip. Friday and Saturday were spent fishing for walleyes on deep water humps with wood or in the main river channel (20+'). We found eyes every day, but the...

What about the gills? What depths and baits are you getting those on?

Thanks in advance

My friend had success on a 37" fish working reed beds on opening weekend with a Mepps Musky Killer. I don't know much since then. We went back on Monday and had no musky action.

The water is fairly clear- it is not a cisco based lake. There are good weedbeds along most shores, especially the east one and some good weeds by the island. I would try there first. I had good...

My understanding of pickeral is that it is more of a northern pike lake than a musky lake. However, if you keep fishing those weedbeds, you should eventually score. Muskies are, by definition,...

30" walleyes are very rare. I have yet to catch one in my lifetime. My largest is 27" caught (and released) from the Wisconsin river casting large crankbaits in the fall. My TFF biggest is 23"...

Where I grew up, there were several asphalt plants. They really don't smell that bad. Those of you driving north through Wausau pass one right by the freeway and most days you don't smell it at all...

For the last several years, a group of my friends and I have all rented a cabin for the opening day of walleye season in the great northwoods. This year, we had a bag limit that was reduced from the...

DonH- That argument about equipment has been made many times. The Chippewa are allowed to use modern equipment because Judge Barbara Crabb said so in her decision. I different judge may have seen...

A friend of mine got a 24" muskie last may on the TFF near lake Bastine. It struck a beetle spin and gave a good fight on 6# line.

If you would like to learn more about the 2 walleye bag limit for the TFF and 9other lakes in the area for 2011, read the current issue of the Wisconsin Outdoor News. On page 3 is Dean Bortz's...

You also are allowed to fish more than one body of water in a day. Therefore, you can catch 2 from the TFF, and 2 or 3 more from another lake (if legal on that lake), up to your statewide limit of 5...

After reading the posts here, I thought some information might be useful- There is a relatively new situation which Don Pemble's original post touches on, but I think should be explained further.
...

I have either stayed at or checked out the resorts listed by the administrator and agree that both are very good places to stay.

I will give you a few differences between the places, just for...

To give you an idea, I just ran across a sale of a resort on the Phillips Chain. I have not done the research to tell what the quality of the frontage was, etc, but it had run down cabins like Duck...

Certainly not for $2,500,000. It would probably take about $1,000,000 downpayment to finance that in the current lending climate and the interest on the balance would be $90,000 per year at 6%-which...

About 5 years ago, we landed a 30" dogfish (measured on a board) from Mohawksin by Bradley point. It struck on a spinnerbait called a musky candy. I had no idea it was anywhere close to a state...

There can be too many bass in a lake. Largemouth bass are very effective predators on walleye fingerlings. Therefore, in some lakes, more bass should be kept either to keep them from becoming...

My understanding of the situation is that they were out of business for a while, but the brand was purchased by someone from Gander Mountain and they are starting production back again. I could be...

It was so hot, I decided not to go to Nokomis, fearing too many jet skis, etc. I fished the WI river instead and we got 2 keeper eyes and some small smallies.

A friend of mine has had decent action on Mantas. Caught a 40 and a 36 with it, also had a couple of others on. Only a 29 so far on anything with a blade. Maybe give a Manta a try (bumble bee color...

We had decent results on walleyes and smallies early in the season on rocks with crankbaits. I doubt that will work now, they are probably deeper. I am going to try Nokomis for muskies today. If I...

Zeke- you should call Iron County's zoning and planning office located in Hurley. They will fill you in on everything. In general, new structures are not allowed within 75' of the water, so most...

Could you share what depths and/or type of cover you were fishing for those crappies? I am coming to LSG with my kids next week and they have never caught a crappie and would like to. If you don't...
