| I know nobody is going to say what the least pressured lakes are, so what does everyone think the most pressured lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin are? |

| All musky waters to some extent! Thats where time on the water and fish knowledge play a key roll. There are many times that I go right behind another boat and smoke the fish they should have caught! Somewhat luck, of course, but also confidence and knowing what to look for and then doing the right move!
Pressured water can be a plus, if you know what to look for and then know how to deal with the situation!

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | It's not musky fishing, but the Fox river by Depere is a real hoot during the spring walleye run. It is the only place I have ever seen boats running into each other while drifting. By far the worst pressure I have ever seen. |

Location: Madison, WI | The Fox River is a ZOO this time of year. All kinds of entertainment value from the launch to the dam Small price to pay for some of the best walleye fishing (if not the best) in WI. 12# and 14# fish visited my boat last spring.
The Madison chain sees a fair amount of pressure. A healthy combination of fishing and recreational traffic. Dodging pwc's on the weekends can be a challenge. If they could figure out that operating at high speeds within 100' of another boat and 200' of shore is illegal!

Location: Anchorage | Pool 4 on the 'sip is a circus come mid March. Upwards of 200 boats in a 3 mile stretch of water below the dam on weekends. slow fishing means counting boats. but like cpr says, plenty of eyes and the only open water around make it worth it, as does the entertainment.
especially watching the first timers try to scream over the wing dams at 50mph with a 30k rig. when the lower unit hits you expect to see a cannonball sail across the river.  |
