| What I want to know is how the Wind was up there Kevin? Would have been tough to stay on the water around here. Nice work with the 2 sucker fish!

| Just bought a property in a small town near Hayward, WI. Within 15 minutes of Chippewa Flowage plust all the other muskie lakes for 25,000. That included aplliances. Not a palace but was ready to move into and do the changes the old woman wanted. |

| I was telling a guy the other day about a nice muskie I caught on such and such lake I knew he was a big time real estate guy and I dint think anything of it but when he heard this lake had muskies in it he seemed kind of intrigued like a weird kind of intrigued espicially when he is not a muskie fisherman. It really made me wonder about the property advertisement and such. Then shortly after this thread was started and I learned that real estate guys advertise this so it makes sense why he was so intrigued then. |

Good deal. What would the same property go for had it been "on" the Chippewa Flowage ? I would imagine much more than an additional $25K....

| Off water properties are typically about 10% of the cost of properties that actually have frontage. Then you have the weird ones in-between. Frontage that you own, and can build a pier on, with a road that runs through the edge of the lot that you don't own, lots with frontage where your building site is 200 feet from the water, deeded access to some nearby lake that your property doesn't actually touch...
If you're talking about a buildable lot with 100 feet or more of frontage, where you can actually see the lake from your house and actually walk out of the house and go down to the lake without having to build 35 stairs or a boarwalk that runs through a swamp, I'd expect $200,000 and up.

| I would be surprised that property on Muskie Lakes has more value...considering all of the kids that get attacked by Muskies when they dangle their feet off the ends of docks. |

| Funny you mention that. I know a guide who refuses to swim in the lake he guides on because of some of the muskies he has seen come out of there. |

| Just an observation from a person who is lucky enough to own lake property in Oneida Co. and muskie fish in Vilas and Oneida Co. The people that can afford lake property are the ones buying and in general do not seem to be fisherman. They come with their jet ski's and Ski Nautiques. They are more interested in entertaining and playing with toys rather than fishing. To each his own, but the blue collar dream of owning a cabin on a lake to fish and relax is going away or has become not affordable to most. Going away, just like all the lake resorts that dotted most lakes in northern Wisconsin. I am not a fan of jet skis or extravagent ski boats, but at least these people are not muskie fishing and putting more pressure on the fish. It is like one of the members comments " I love golfers, keeps them off the water on weekends" To many other factors in this equation to raise property values than the presence of old essox. |

Location: Roscoe IL | Outside of Holiday weekends during the Summer, we don't see that many Jet skis or water skiers on Lake Nokomis. Lots of Bass & Welleye fisherman, we get a few regulars that love fishing our dock in the back bay. For the most part it's quiet during the week, I would be more concerned about water levels effecting property values than anyting else. It can get quite low at times. |

| I was up on "my lake" in Vilas last year on the 4th of July. RRRRR!!!!! kids screaming, people laughing, dogs barking...
"What is all that racket?!" I thought....
As it turned out, it was one pontoon boat pulling kids around on inner tubes, dogs in the boat barking away. I guess one boat on the lake on the 4th of July isn't too bad...  |

The dream doesn't have to die. Just have to spend your money more wisely, and save for the things you really want. |
