Spring Fishing the big Chip

By Editor John Myhre

While the Chippewa Flowage may be best known as the lake that produced Louie Spray’s world record musky and as a quality musky fishery, it produces some great fishing for other species too. From the opener in early May usually through June you can find good fishing for northern pike, crappie, bluegill, and walleyes. However, with over 15, 000 surface acres it can be a little intimidating for the first time angler on this water.

So much water, and different water on top of that. What I mean by different water is it’s almost like fishing many different waters all in the same lake. From river fishing to dark water, to clear water and everything between, the flowage has it.  (More)

Ah spring! Time to begin chasing the "great greens" once again. But where to find them? Well, muskies should normally be fairly easy at this time of the year. A few variables come in to play, such as is it a normal spring, or is it early or late. Assuming a fairly normal year, muskies will just have completed spawning. They can be found in and around productive spawning areas. In lakes, that will be shallow, weedy bays. In flowage waters it can be any number of places.  (more)
