Looking to take a trip to the Minocqua area for the Muskie Opener. My home waters are Chippewa Falls, New Auburn, Holcombe, Ladysmith areas and I have a Cabin in Gordon so I've fished the Eau Claire Chain and the lakes around the Hayward area. I'm looking to try the Minocqua area not sure why just picked an area I guess. Seeing how this is Memorial weekend is there a lake to target to escape the craziness of pleasure boaters? Don't really care if there is big fish or small fish just never been to Northeastern Wisconsin for anything besides driving through heading to the UP.

Thank you,

Wisskie

Why not try some of the flowages around the falmbeau river near park falls?

Location: North Fork, Flambeau River		Take a look at the Turtle Flambeau Flowage thread on this page. Great body of water, with muskies.. Donners Bay will be at the Wausau Musky Show in March.

Location: Minocqua, WI		Minocqua area is surely a zoo come Memorial Day weekend, but there are some nice out of the way gems in the area that offer the escape.

You said it AndrewR. I fished the Minocqua chain once, with a friend who lived on the lake. On one cast I nearly snagged a water skier who passed within six feet of our boat. Crazy.

Location: minocqua, wi.		Minocqua Chain is my home water and I'm on it a lot ... Memorial Weekend weather depending isn't too bad. Early and late you have it to yourself and during the day depending on how well you know it you can find plenty of places to fish without the made for Chamber responses you're getting. if you load up and want to travel to another lake the choices are endless and some of the best water is hidden in plain sight.
