Guess that spot

[The Tiny Fisherman]

Here's one not many have seen.

Hope it doesn't last as long,

[The Tiny Fisherman]

If your guessing the spot HRG put out there I've already did that in #84. I was waiting on #81 the one where there is a rainbow, by the highlines, across from Donners Bay. Because at HRG's request he want an easy one.

With that let's move on to another,

[The Tiny Fisherman]

Its about time Gus. Located on the north shore where the river channel comes right up to shore.

[BlueRanger]

Down on the south end where Beaver Creek comes in, west side?

[Mark Benson]

Tiny:

FT's got a beer coming!!! It not on Trude, so Blue has a shot as well...

Mark

[BlueRanger]

Oh, then it must be that other spot right near there!

[The Tiny Fisherman]

Again close, but that's not it. Its so easy, even a blind person could get this one.

[BlueSprint07]

All I know is looking at all these pictures of the flowage is making me twitch wanting to get up there so bad, and also realize that after 7 years I have no clue where anything is or what it's called. Either I've been drinking too much while Ski drives me around or the fishing is so good I would only recognize the picture with a fat smallmouth smack dab in the middle. In an effort to test the drinking theory I'm going to go sit in my garage with some cold beer, pull up the forum, and whip out the hot spots map and lakemaster map on my humminbird. Perhaps with a buzz it will all come back and I'll take a shot at one of these....worse case I'll start to learn so when Blue is telling me where to go this spring I won't just be nodding my head to appear that I actually know what he is saying. TFF!!!

[The Tiny Fisherman]

I don't know what you two are smoking (back away from the campfire), but that is way off the spot.

I'll have to put up one of the dam,

[The Tiny Fisherman]

Sorry Gus, but that isn't either.

Nice try,

[Mark Benson]

OK, I take another shot... still thinking you are looking at a sunset... So same area as the others are saying like under the power lines looking up the turtle arm.

Mark

[The Tiny Fisherman]

You guys had a shot at it and Blue has to jump in there and kick some butt. FT aka Walt?, you got to get off the main channel (beer for me).

The spot is facing north coming out of the Beaver Creek area, you can even see the low water bar that gets a lot of props.

Here's another one,

[timk]

Is that from Lake Bastine looking through the narrows ( North ) - after the narrows is the Pink Rock , etc. . The big Island is foward to your right , left is main land ?

[skywalker11]

Is that fishermans way down on the left with the little island out in front? looking south east toward fishermans.

[Flambeau trail]

Thought I had that one right Tiny. I owe you a Point Special. I think that timk may be correct on the last one. Walt.

[BlueRanger]

I'm still pondering how the blind guy is going to see the pictures - Braille camera?

[BlueRanger]

Okay, then my next guess is a mile downstream where the channel makes the hard bend from NW to SE- campsite A1 would be on your left and R29 is to your right.

Getting ready for summer today. Just finished a rebuild on my Calcuttas - replaced the anti-reverse bearings and a few miscellaneous spacers and upgraded to carbon fiber drag washers. 15 years of heavy use and they're purring like kittens. The improvement in the drag start-up is incredible! Muskies beware!

[BlueRanger]

I'm with TimK, except for the camera position. I think you took this one off your dock or very close to it, pointing almost due north.

[The Tiny Fisherman]

TimK is on the money on that one. Walt, you don't scare me, I've had plenty of Point Specials. As always Blue is correct about the location of the shot (tons of pictures off the dock). With a view like that its hard not to capture some great pictures.

Are we having fun yet?

[BlueRanger]

In prior years, this game didn't have to compete for people's attention with yardwork and actual fishing...

[gus]

Was up there on Thursday and Friday,cutting fire wood.Looking out on the open water,and thinking this time last year we were driving out there ice fishing.

[Flambeau Vista Retreat LLC]

Is that where the white egret was hanging out just before you entered the Boney Mound area? Gotta get this thread going again, so post a guess guys and gals or Tiny will go to sleep!

Tim, please note who is posting. "Stay on your toes!"

[Mark Benson]

Gosh as long as this one is this tough, I am going with up the Mannie arm, but specifically where, I'll have to see if I can get one of those maps up to show ya...

Mark

[The Tiny Fisherman]

Still very close, think backwards.......

[George G]

Looking towards the Dam , outside Donners bay.

[BlueRanger]

Somebody forgot to shuffle the deck!

[The Tiny Fisherman]

Because even Blue couldn't get this one we'll have to move on to another. But do remember his last guess, it will come up sooner that you think. There is a map showing the angle of the last shot looking towards Murray's Landing. Camp sites R39 and R40 would be to the right.

Docks, lift and boat are all in. Went out for a boat ride yesterday and the temps were 44 to 46. Big difference from last week's low 50's.

Here are two new ones,

[The Tiny Fisherman]

Scott, Mark could be close (as you), but nobody is even trying.....

There is plenty more to come,

[Mark Benson]

Alright last chance other wise lets go fishing!!! Looking west past the dam, then Donners...

Mark

[LundAngler]

Just outside Bastine looking north??

[Flambeau Vista Retreat LLC]

I hate reruns! LOL

[BlueRanger]

Well, I guess I shouldn't feel too bad about missing that one - that may be the only part of the TFF that I've never been to even once. I used to fish just below Murray's frequently and even took my old boat up the river a couple miles past the landing once, but always cut through on the north side of that island and never followed the channel all the way around. These new ones aren't ringing any bells either.

[The Tiny Fisherman]

Also note that Gus and HRG were and are way off. See as how they are tag teaming up on me.

Have a great weekend,

[The Tiny Fisherman]

Oops, sorry about that got the wrong one. Even old people can screw up (yikes). I need to retire.

Holy crap, I'm bad,

[DonH]

I've never been there or seen this spot, but man is it beautiful. I need to know where this area is located. I've fished Trude lake, and the TFF from there all the way to Blair lake including Merkle lake, but never got into Town Line, Horseshoe or Bonnies Mound area.

I didn't buy a boat with a real motor until 5 or 6 years ago, so I've spent most of my life on the TFF getting from here to there with a 9.9. There is good and bad with that (I'm a "glass half full" kind of guy).

The bad - it limits you as to where you fish because making a trip is a big decision. It used to take me 45 minutes to get from our cabin in Lake Bastine to the Flats.

The good - because every trip is a decision, once you're out there you make less of them (going from the Grassy Island area to Rat lake for instance) and end up really learning some areas and what makes them tick. So less trips means I stayed in an area and worked it, and learned it.

Now with my boat, trips that took 20 minutes take 4 or 5 so I tool from here to there quite a bit. But I'm not doing anything aimlessly. I now have a ton of spots to work that I really know from all those years of being reluctant to move.

But back to the reason I'm here. Where is this spot?
