I'm looking for suggestions on best Musky fishing within three hours of Chicago. Wife doesn't want to drive further than that and I was also looking at possibility of purchasing a property on the water, but I need ideas on best bets. Lake WI is about the 3 hr limit. Although I'm hooked on Musky chasing, I need a decent Walleye bite as well. Thanks for all your help and ideas.

The Madison chain is another option.

Alternatively you can do what I did and move to Minneapolis and then apply the wife's "3 hour rule".

Green Bay is 3 1/2 from downtown Chicago. Walleye fishing is pretty good there...

I'll throw a vote Debbie Koepp's way. Great realtor and she really knows Lake Country.
And if you should end up on Pewaukee, maybe she can use her "connection" with Mike for a trip!
