Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Not defensive, descriptive. Quite a bit like Seul, yes, but fewer muskie anglers. I saw one other Muskie boat all week; a couple in a Crestliner fishing the North Shore bays. That, I am sure, will change as folks discover how well the Goon and Dinorwic are doing. This is an impoundment, so far from a Shield lake it's not even in the same universe! there are three clear water lakes that feed into the Goon, but the really big girls ( upper 1% limit at 60# according to Casselman, if I remember correctly) live in that clay laden water... |

| Hi Steve, just a little info for you. Be glad you were up there when you were. Just got back and I would have to say it was the worst fishing ever for me. (was up there last year, same week as you, red tuffy) Our family total was 1 musky and about a dozen pike that were in the slot. Very few small pike also. Weather killed us, on tuesday a front arrived that broke both docks and the 5 foot rollers made fishing impossible. The rest of the week was big north winds with rain/thunderstorms almost nonstop and highs in the upper 50's. Seemed like September to me.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Dinorwic is clearer than the Goon, has similar structure but not as much shallow weed cover. Fish populations are similar, but Pike average bigger, I think because there is less pressure. It's part of the Chain, just above the Goon.
I heard the weather was tough up there last week! I'm headed back up for the PWT to cover the event and get some press out on the water. I hope it warms up some without hitting the 90's. |

| Brian -- I was up north near you last week , cold front/ winds were brutal . Fires at night are for may and oct , not july ! We could not move any big fish, did catch some small-medium ones. MD |
