Does anyone on here live around the Polk county lakes? I'm wondering what lakes are still open enough to fish at least this weekend. I have a few suckers left that I don't want to waste. thanks

You going to be around deer Friday? I'll be in the area tonight and Im guessing not much will change in a day or so with the high winds today and tomorrow.

How is deer lake for numbers and size? A friend just got a cabin on deer lake. Is there 50 inch potential?

I don't fish deer all that often, but like most lakes in that general area there isn't great potential to catch a 50 incher. I do fish Bone quite often and a 50 incher caught anywhere in the area is pretty big news. Both lakes get pressured to hell.

Best shot at a 50" in the Polk county area IMHO is Wappogasset

Deer/Bone/Apple River high density and some good fish, but not a large BIG fish population. Plenty 45-47" - and I am sure all of these lakes at one time or another spit out a 50", but not common

Cedar - slightly better chance and would be my second choice for a large fish after Wappo

Location: oswego, il		Anybody ever seen a musky in balsam? I have heard they are present probably in a very small number. What a musky lale that would be.

I have not seen one in there but I did talk with a DNR agent about one that showed up on their netting survery. He thought it was a transplant. Would be one heck of a musky lake but pretty heavy boat traffic.
