 Fishing
At It's Finest!
Whether you’re
cranking’ baits for bass, walleye, northern, or just funsie fishing’ for some slab
size crappies the Lac du Flambeau main chain of 10 lakes that cover some 9,000 acres plus
its 100 other concentrated bodies of water are all crystal clear spring fed mesotrophic
types. Their glacier-carved structure along with weed beds, drop offs, sand bars and fish
shelters offer the angler
 action from early
spring through late fall.
The William J. Poupart Fish Hatchery at the lower end of Pokegama Lake transplants millions
of walleye, bass and musky fry and fingerlings into Lac du Flambeau lakes each year,
fortifying the future of angling and the theme "Fishing at its finest in Lac du
Flambeau."
Local bait and tackle shops are always ready to help the newcomer with local
conditions, along with bait types for the best action.
The main chain of ten lakes is connected by channels that will accommodate the average
pleasure and fishing boat. There are many boat ramps. Try us for a new line-wetting

World Record
Musky Waters
Some of our lakes are listed by the
Department of Resources as likely to produce a world's record
weight-class musky. Since 1975, Lac du Flambeau lakes have
established 3 new world's line class records for musky recorded
with the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame.

Water temps on the chain have risen with the hot weather, they are in the mid to high 70's. Walleyes have been hitting light jigs tipped with crawlers and minnows. Try weed edges in 11 to 14 feet. The best weed edges seem to be near deep dropoff's. There has been reports of action on midlake rock piles also. Fish these in the evening with slipbobers and crawlers. Musky action should be good in the evening and at dark with suface baits worked over weed beds. On calm nights use lures that make lots of noise. Pike action has moved a little deeper, try countdown rapalas in 10 to 20 foot weeds. Bass are still feeding in the weeds in 10 to 14 feet. Use shad raps and rattletraps to find them, then go back thru the area and try jigs tipped with crawlers. Bluegills, perch and crappie seem to be up and down the water column. Try small spinners, plastics and berkely gulp to find these fish, then use bits of crawlers and small minnows tipped on small hooks with a split shot. |
