| I am looking to book a family vacation from the Hayward to Minocqua area and would like to hear some in put on some different lakes/chains that would offer a wide variety of fishing. We usually stay on the Manitowish Chain mid June or early July but I am looking for something new. Looking for smaller bodies of water with not a lot of hazards. I have considered the Chip or TFF but with all the hazards out there it will be tough for my parents to get around. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated including reasonable resorts to stay at.

| Sunrise Lodge, Lac Vieux Desert. Great family atmosphere and food. Structured activities for the kids. Panfish are everywhere! LM and SM Bass, walleye, pike and Muskie. You have to like fishing weeds as they are abundant on this lake. |

| I wouldn't rule out the Chippewa Flowage. We stayed on the west side at the Tiger Muskie resort, first time at the resort and first time on the west side. It was easier to navigate than the east side in my mind, fishing was easier too. We caught walleyes, smallies, pike, bluegills, perch and even moved a couple muskies. All in 3 days on unfamiliar water. The water was low when we were there and I was never concerned about hitting anything. The best fishing was within a mile or two of our resort. |

Location: Plover, WI | St. Germain area is nice. Big and Little St. Germain lakes offer a great multi species fishery.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Minocqua Chain. GREAT fishery for everything except walleyes, for those it can be if you tap sled for a couple tips. |

Location: oswego, il | I agree the chip would be a good multispecies lake. dont rule out the tff. there are hazards but I have yet to hit one. just know the areas and motor slow. dark water, easy to fish and even the walleyes are shallow. we stay at deadhorse lodge and that stretch does not have much for hazards nearby. |

| I have fished the Chippewa flowage my entire life and agree with everyone on here, but one VERY important thing I will add is that the Big Chip is full of hazards. Rock bars, deep to shallow areas in a heartbeat, and stumps galore. If you do not know the Chip all that well I would maybe stick to something smaller with less hazards. The Chippewa flowage is also quite hard to navigate with its many islands and lack of development that can be useful for navigation on other lakes. Just my two cents. |

| Thank you to everyone. Seeing that my family was looking for something on the smaller side we decided to stay on the Tiger Cat Flowage. Seeing that we are close to the Chip I might venture over there for a couple days to see if I can find some bigger fish. If anyone has any suggestions for the Tiger Cat, please feel free to send them my way. |
