| How does the structure and water clarity differ from Wabigoon to Dinorwic? What are the main differences between the two lakes?
Is there a significant difference in the muskie densities and fish size between the 2 bodies?
How long does it take to travel across the lake by boat from the city of Dryden to the far east town of Wabigoon?
Does Dinorwic receive less muskie pressure than "The Goon"?
Are there any small sleeper muskie lakes in the area maybe under 5-10,000 acres, within 30 minutes or so from the intersection of highway 17 and 72 on the northeast side of the lake?
Thanks

Location: Lake Country, Wisconsin | I can't answer your questions about Dinorwic as I have only been on Wabigoon...
As for the second part of your question, Musky lakes up in that direction ( near Dryden) are pretty limited. The closest I know of that would be a smaller numbers lake is Little Vermilion in Sioux Lookout, that's probably closer to an hour then 30 mins I am guessing though. There are also some lakes up by Eagle lake but that's going to run you 45 mins and up to get out there...

| I was at Wabigoon in July. It was our first trip to the "goon" and I've got mixed reviews about it. I was prepared for the murky water (thanks to several out here on this forum), but was still surprised at how low the visibility was. We did have some pretty windy days, but I'd still say we only had about 12" of visibility at best. And, the waves get pretty big if you've got any decent winds from the north so that ride from Dryden to Dinorwic could be long and rough.
We never made it down to Dinorwic (farthest south we went was McGraw), but could definitely see the water clearing slightly the farther south we went (at least before the windy days hit). A few in camp claimed it held muskies, other said don't bother.
There are folks out here (some of which I met in camp, and had fun talking with) that love the water. We did catch fish, but for me the water clarity made it hard to stay motivated. There are definitely good numbers in Wabigoon, but with more prominent lakes in the area (relatively speaking from someone that drives 18 hrs to get up there!) I don't think it gets all that much pressure. And I would bet Dinorwic gets even less pressure.

Location: The desert | There is a nice lake deep in the bush off of 502. I believe the name is Kekekwa. When I went to the Goon my old man and I took a camp boat and found our way into it. Had to remove some downed trees and forge our own path at times but we made it in there. Weather was not stellar and the Mosquitos were Boone and Crockett sized. But muskies were plentiful. We had an absolute blast back in there. Was an adventure going in, a ball to fish, and an expensive journey out as we had, unknowingly, bent the axel on the trailer ever so slightly. Once back on the highway, the slight vibration caused the new 15 horse Yamaha 4 stroke to walk up the transom and go for a slide on the road.
If we are ever back in that area we will make a trip back into that lake. We both had a blast. Multiple muskies moving on casts, had 2 enter an 8 and go around several times before one ate. We didn't catch any wall hangers, but I don't doubt there are some nice ones in there.
We stayed at Indian Point, I'm sure they'd be able to dig up the lake name. When we were planning our trip in there they didn't think anyone had been in that lake in 15 years. There was no evidence of people when we went. | |
