All those lakes are pretty small, so naturally the temps will be higher there. You could try Evergreen, which is slightly larger than the others you mentioned. Ask Thad Hinshaw on his site, www.evergreenmuskie.com what the water temps were last weekend. I think, when I talked to him, they were low 80s. Shelbyville might be another option. I think the water temps there were also in the low 80s.

If you do muskie fish, do so wisely. Minimize time out of water. Quickly remove and release, etc. Try not to troll if at all possible, too. Hope you get one, or two!
