| Does anyone fish Delavan in southern WI? I plan on a little mornings fishing for bass and pike and I have never been there before. Can anyone tell me where the boat launch is, what time it opens and any places on the lake to target?
Thanks
Andy

| Just fished it tonight. It's full of small pike 20-28 inchs and bass. Tons of crappie in about 25 feet of water and these can be caught on tube jigs as well as 8-10 inch gills. I caught a 20 inch Largemouth around sunset on a buzz bait. Had a huge muskie blow up on the same bait but he didn't take it. Tons of weeds so plan on burning spinner baits or using something weedless. They have been getting a ton of fish on live bait. Good luck!
P.S. $10.25 to launch your boat.

| I had a blast at Delavan Friday morning. I lost count of the number of pike that we caught, they might not be monsters but it was great fun! Thanks for the help and I will certainly be back again very soon.

| The rehab of Delevan Lake by the DNR is one of the greatest DNR success stories in the last 100 years. I fished it "before". If they ever have to rehab it again, I would expect 100% backing for the project. Great fishing lake now. |

| Andy, There are some 40"+ Pike in there! Last time I was there in June, I had a mid 20's Pike follow a spinnerbait, with a mid 40's Muskie following the Pike! |
