Posts: 369 | Hello everybody, because its going to be a few months before I go to wisconsin, I was wondering if any of you have any information on mallard lake because they have muskies in there and I hope to practice there and maybe even catch a muskie there. Also any other good muskie lakes that you know of please share. -Zachary | ||

More info on some local boards I heard same thing! Busse lake have good number of muskies but some fell below the main dam and swim down Salt Creek. Mallard Lake should be good and muskies stay in lake! I caught few nice northerns there a few years ago. | ||
