Hello Ranger and River Man, I finally made it to the Flowage after a 43 yr. sabatical. I did the Murray's landing thing and nearly got lost. Just a few smallies, and yes the water looked cloudy to me too. The Flambeau is as pretty as I remember since the late fifties and 1960's. Back then of course it was loaded with Walleye's, stumps and log jams. I don't care how good the fishing can be now-a-days ........... it was heaven back then, let me tell ya. Anyhow, once our landing opens on Mercer lake I'll get my "real" boat out and give the Flowage another try. I really like the smaller local lakes for fishing purposes, but the beauty of the Flambeau is hard to beat. Regards, the old "frog caster"
