Location: madison wisconsin | I will be heading to turtle flowage and staying near fishermans landing the 21st-26th. We're also thinking of trying any other lakes in the area, too. Any info/help you would be willing to share will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Location: Smith Creek | TFF has been kicking our butts this summer. Mercer lake or Manitowish might make better options, although with a slow summer the TFF has to pick up sometime. Try topwaters or big bucktails around the red cabbage near river channels. |

| i own a place on tff .it;s a tough nut to crack for quality muskies.not many per acre compared to other lakes in the area. Try mercer,long,spider,wilson lake is close. moose lake is a sure thing ,but small size. |

| I agree, not to mention TFF has a ton of unmarked hazards and if you don't know your way it can be very treacherous. Awesome lake for everything else, especially camping. |

Location: Smith Creek | She's about 3 feet low and dirty as heck. Be careful around Fisherman's. Weeds are starting to die off. Try out Trude if they aren't going anywhere else. |

Location: McFarland | We had a pretty good trip catching 3 each and losing/missing/raising probably another 8-10. Talked to some others fishing up there who had been there alot longer and they were having a tough time so we felt pretty lucky. Fish we caught ranged from low 30's up to 45.5". We fished Wilson the first morning and I caught 1 and raised 1 but they were both pretty small so we stuck to the flowage the rest of the trip.What a beautiful body of water though and can't wait to get back up there!

Location: Minocqua, WI | NICE! Gives me hope for next week. Looking to spend a day or two out there to enjoy the colors if anything.
I've got a buddy who lives around Springstead Landing area. Been hearing a lot of conflicting reports about poor water clarity and how it's been not so good for fishing. That's why I stayed away this weekend.
How was visibility out there for you guys? |

| It wasn't bad but then again we are from Madison so we're pretty used to it. Trude was really good though, clear black water was pretty cool. |
