Posts: 999 | For Joe Bucher spending 3 weeks a year taping his musky segments for his show on Wabigoon, there was not one show that made me go OMG I have to go to this lake (I surely miss his Vilas Cty musky segments). I think for shear numbers and size you cannot beat parts of LOTW. Mr Musky | ||

Posts: 2752 Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | I think I should have been a little more detailed in my response above. The reason I like flyin outposts is the remoteness. If I were to choose a lodge it would be tough. These would be my top 5 choices for a chance at a fish of a lifetime, and they all have stellar reputations. AML on Eagle Lake (Steve Herbeck) http://www.andymyerslodge.com/canadian_fishing.htm Nielsen's Flyin Lodge on Rowan Lake http://www.rowanlake.com/open_dates.htm Musky Bay Resort on Crow Lake http://www.muskiebayresort.com/ Walsh's Bay Store Camp on LOTW (Frank Walsh). http://www.baystorecamp.com/ Indian Point Camp on Wabigoon Lake http://www.indianpointcamp.com/ Keep in mind your own success is really driven by your attitude & the effort you've expended. Yes! I have been skunked on Crow. But, not because I didn't try. I've also caught fish on the very first day I fished it and I was not staying at a resort on Crow. Canadian waters at times can be humbling, that's where any of the above lodges will do everything they can to make your experience a trip of the lifetime. I really don't think you can ask for more than that. I expect to be skunked, that way I'll never be disappointed. It's really mostly a matter of attitude, i.e., decide what you want, select a lodge, and just go there and expect to have a good time. Plan to fish in less than ideal weather. Also plan to not fish in dangerous weather, i.e., it's all part of the game. You can learn a hell of lot just talking/socializing with folks in camp while you wait out the dangerous weather. In fact you'll probably develop some life long friendships. Have fun! Al Edited by ESOX Maniac 9/10/2008 9:47 PM | ||

Posts: 1767 Location: Lake Country, Wisconsin | Eagle is without a doubt my favorite place for all of the reasons mentioned. As for second place? I think the Minaki area is always overlooked because people don't want to drive by LOTW and keep going. I have only been out there a few times but yikes, there are some giants in there. Biggest fish I have ever boated personally was out there. I hear it gets hard but I don't see it myself. | ||
