Just thought we could have a little fun with putting up some pictures and guessing where it is. Some will be easy.
Where is this?

Just out from Big Island across from the entrance into Bastine?
Is the the little island on the NW end of murray's??
It is the island right next to Sportsman's Landing
between the big island and Sweeny lake basin?
I dunno.... I hope this isn't one of the easy ones....
I thought you would have had this one, because everybody talks about going past this spot to get to another lake basin. Hint: I've would have thought Blueranger would of had this one for sure.
Please continue on the first one, but here is another.
Here is one I thing even Larry will get,
The Tiny Fisherman...<*){{{{><
hmmm.....
it's not an island at all... it's the point/finger that sticks out south of the blair lake entrance.
You got it!
Now for a new one, I'll try and mix up the locations. So everybody gets a fare chance.
This should be easy,
The Tiny Fisherman...<*){{{{><
Tiny,
I thought I had been just about everywhere on the TFF, but you are making me second guess myself!
It's hard to tell since I can't see the detail on the shoreline, but ...near Norway point???

"Try not! Do, or do not....there is no try."

Until I blew up the photo I saw what the locals call Piney Island (part of Lake Bastine basin). So good call, I'll give you that one. What I thought would give it away is Lake View Resort in the bottom left corner.
LundAngler, not sure where Norway point is?
This one is way too easy, but here ya go,

Looking back into Baraboo. The Springstead landing is around the corner to the right. Nice pictures Tiny.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.
That was way too quick! But thanks George for playing along. Your consolation prize will be in the mail (not).
Boy with all this warm weather sure makes a person want to get out and wet a line.
Here is what we all long for,

Amen brother!

How about this spot Tiny?

George, you haven't guess the most current picture (hot summer eve).
Not too sure if Johnny's Bar in Mercer is located on the flowage. Don't get to town too offen, when you have so much to do at the homestead.
But thanks trying to stump the oldtimer,

Beautiful sunrise! I believe that's taken from the Lake Ten area looking towards the Beaver Flats/Rat Lake direction.
The fog/rain picture appears to be looking toward the entrance into Baraboo.
I can't believe nobody's gotten this one yet but the concrete structure is the dam! Come on guys!
It's supposed to hit 70 down here today, time to take the patio furniture out of the boat!
Randy, you are correct on all, but your first one. And your right I can't believe it either that you were the first one to get the Dam correctly.
Give it another shot,
The Tiny Fisherman...<*){{{{><
OK Tiny, I have it. That is a sunset and it's looking from the Beaver Flats towards Lake Ten.
The Dam! The Dam! That explains everything. You hear about boat launches. I was told that was the River Launch. It really works great, but the landing is kind of tough, and then when you're done fishing, hauling your boat back up that hill.....
This is a relatively easy spot to figure out, but wanted to share the photo nonetheless.. This was taken in June of 2004 from the TFF. Any guesses?
DonH, is right on the money, its a sunset looking towards Lake Ten from Beaver Flats. Speaking of the Dam, one time a group people came into Donners and asked Fluffy where the Restaurant was for the "TAKE OUT". It takes all kinds.
ski2313, nice picture, but I'll past on my guess for now. I have similar shots of the same area that I was going to put up. But it's very good!
Thanks,

Ski-
Is it looking south across the big water toward beaver flats?
"Try not! Do, or do not....there is no try."
I'm sure I've been to these places, but I can't remember! I think maybe hypnosis might work....
Ski,if I had to guess I'd say looking east into Baraboo from the "big water".It is a nice pic. I like how you got that stump in the frame on the left.Oh yeah the rainbows are nice too.
That's looking north up the Manitowish, middle of the rainbow over campsites C5/C11, viewed from the north end of Baraboo. How about a close-up with the bikini models?
Check out my photos at:

Blue, the bikini girls don't come camping with me until July and August! They don't like the "cold" (anything below 70)
But.. you are correct on the location. Basically just to the left of where the rainbow hits the water is fisherman's landing. Picture was taken from a campsite.
A little history lesson:
As of last summer this icon of the flowage was tore down. Can you name it and who was the first owner/operator? What was it original name? And what was it called and who own/operated when it closed for good?
Good luck,
The Tiny Fisherman...<*){{{{><
Art Schmidts Musky Camp a/k/a Hiawatha last operated by Jack and Bob Campbell. Tim, can you post the ice fishery results on the thread below? Thanks Scott www.flambeauvista.com
Sure is tough to watch stuff you always thought would be there, disappear. Kind of makes you wonder what the TFF is going to look like 30 years from now. 2039? Sheees! Think we'll have resolved the walleye vs. smallmouth thing by then?

around the corner pub
Hearing the heavy equipment last summer was terrible, also brought tears to our family. We too had some of our first beers with the brothers. A cousin and I thought we could walk (stumble) back to Fort Flambeau without flashlights one cloudy and moonless night, got a couple hundred yards down the road and decided this wasn't the best idea. Jack showed up a few minutes later and was kind enough to give us a ride in the classic El Camino.
And god only knows how old the oil was that produced those fried cheese curds, but dang, they were the best ever!
LMAO. Good one george!! We cant have an argument on one post we have to share our dismay with everyone else on another one! Good call.
The Hiawatha could be a whole thread in itself. Jack would call Flambeau Fluffy the "laughing lady". Always a goodtime!
Well, on to another one, name that spot,
