Looking for an action lake to take my six year old to. He wants to catch a musky and after plugging away for several outings on some big fish lakes he is getting disheartened.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

yea, my 6 year old nephew is also looking for an easy spot to catch muskies

Look at the wisconsin DNR musky waters pdf. Find a smaller lake near you that has good population numbers.

This^. Look for lakes with an A2 classification.

If you're in the Madison area try Lake Wingra. I've only fished it once for muskies but we had 3 and a pike in an hour and a half of fishing. It is absolutely loaded. Not big ones but theres a lot of them.

CincySkeez - Actually he is. We have a place on the Chippewa Flowage and I love fishing the Chip but it is a slow lake. I am thinking about trying some of the lakes over in NE Wisconsin but outside of Star, N/S Turtle, and Buck-a-tabin I am not sure where to start.

I live in central WI but frequent NW and NE Wisconsin. I very rarely get south of Oshkosh.

I found the PDF, this will be very helpful. Here is a photo of my boy the day he learned to cast his baitcasting reel.

How about Lost Land-Teal, and Moose Lake in the Hayward area, Palmer and Tenderfoot Lake, Eagle River Chain in Vilas County, and in Central Wis., try Little Green at the opener. Kdawg

Spider, Callahan, and Tigercat Flowage all have good populations of small muskies and are in the Hayward area.

Thank you all. Looks like we have a number of lakes to pick from.
