Location: Medford, WI | Very good area for fishing. Lots of action and decent size on the Phillips Chain. Butternut is an action-based lake. Many other lakes within a 20 minute drive. Much of the water is darker/more stained but there are some clear lakes in the area.

Location: Elk Grove Village, IL & Phillips, WI | A was said, a very good area. Dark tannin stained water. Bright colors and topwaters are the ticket!! Send me a PM if you would like some specifics and what lake in particular you are looking at. Real Estate is still pretty reasonable in the area. This is my 12th year owning and I couldn't be happier.
Talk to John from Ross' Bait Shop and Marc or Chris from Elk River Custom Rod Shop, they guide the area and can give you some good info. |

| Fishing has been tough so far this year, but it will improve. I have a place on the chain so i fish it alot. Most of my action comes on Duroy or Butternut lake. |
