Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | World-Famous or Legendary Muskie “Hotspots” – Part VI
by Larry Ramsell, Muskellunge Historian
In Part V, we learned of the first Legendary “Hotspot” in the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage. My dear friend, the late Bill Tutt was an interesting Muskie Master there, as will be noted in the following story of Big George, a fish that created yet another Legendary “Hotspot” on the Flambeau side of the Flowage. I personally knew Bill to be a top notch muskie hunter, sportsman and mentor, who had tagged and released many large muskies and kept a few in the earlier days. In addition, Bill was a great storyteller, as the excerpts quoted here from this amazing and long tale will prove. The relatively small sand bar that Big George frequented is an interesting spot, as will be noted. Click here to read more!

| As a kid I remember reading that story in a magazine. I believe it was Fins and Feathers. It really fired me up. Still and always a great read. Thanks. |

| Very well written piece. Why does it seem the TFF had many more fish back then. It's some pretty tough waters now. |

Chasintails: Very little pressure "back then". Plus genetic stocks weren't being mixed.
Part Vii next week! Stay tuned.
