| New to the area and new to posting here 
I've fished Barker, Black Dan, Lake of the Pines in the past. I was told that Barber should absolutely be the next lake I hit. Am I missing out on any other good lakes?
I'm also scouring marketplace to pick up a rowboat I can fit in the back of my truck if anyone has any leads.

| Barber is a good action lake for sure. If I were you, I'd launch at the Winter Dam of the Chippewa Flowage and spend some time there. The SE part of the flowage is a pretty good area.
Edit: If you're limited to using a row boat, I'm not sure the Chip is a good choice. Sticking to Barber and LOTP are probably your best options

Location: NW WI | Only been on 3 pieces of water over that way. Bit of a jaunt for myself over that way.
Did Lake Winter and Radisson Flowage in 1 day on Labor day weekend. Saw 0 fish. Lake Winter would suit a row boat just fine near the landing, can always stay near the mouth or head up Brunet River. Radisson Flowage has Row boat written all over it, not a sole on it on Labor Day weekend either. I can't speak for the quality of either fishery though. Went off the Dam Landing @ The Chip one time and raised a large girl off the west bank not far from the landing.
I myself am a bit tired of my closer fisheries and the old man never likes to go anywhere twice.
So, somewhere around here I have list of recommended lakes over that way from a retired biologist. I'll share it when I find it. I know Barber and Black Dan were 2 of them.
How yall feel about Island? I've never been to it but I have a future brother in law with a cabin on it.

Thanks for the reply Matt! You've helped me before over facebook messenger. Your advice has helped me a lot. Checking out google maps here and that Winter Dam launch looks great, and very close to me! |

Thanks for the advice! I'm sure to check out the Radisson Flowage one of these days. I haven't heard a peep about Island... maybe someone is keeping good secrets. I will give it a check this fall! |
