I have never fished either lake!

I'd like to try them but which is known for the Muskies and Pike? Do both offer walleye? I have heard Harriett is suppose to be hot with big fish and have heard that Calhoun is a numbers lake?

Thanks and any tips on either lake is appreciated!

Both are good lakes. Harriet has pure strain muskies while Calhoun has tigers. Harriet probably holds bigger fish for this reason.

Northerns aren't very common in Harriet, but there are a few big ones. Calhoun is a far superior northern lake as far as numbers go.

Walleye fishing is good in both lakes, although Harriet is probably known as a better lake.

Bass fishing is also good in both lakes, with Calhoun taking the nod as far as better for this species.

I haven't fished either lake in years (6 to be exact), so I can't speak on the current status of either lake.

I fished Calhoun about a week ago and caught a number of bass. I saw one musky and tried to tempt her several times, but she rejected my advances. Calhoun has a better access, but you have to park on the parkway. On Harriet the idiots will walk directly behind you as you are trying to launch. Depending if a concert is when you are there, you can find good parking in the lot. I live 2 minutes from Harriet and 3 minutes from Calhoun, so when I try to keep my fish commuting time down, I go to Harriet.
