Heading to Amery to visit friends and do some fishing...probly on the Apple River Flowage...I thought i read somewhere its not the Musky fishery it once was...anybody know if this is a good place for Muskies? Not looking for any hot spots, just wondering out loud...probly do some pan fishing for the kids too....any replys would be greatly appreciated...thanx

Plenty of panfish there, the kids will have fun. My last outing there for skis I saw four fish so they are definitely in there. None of them were particularly big, but you should expect to see some action.

Bone lake used to be the place to go. I haven't been up there in 8 years but the dnr have managed that lake with successful results and the muskies were booming.

The muskies are small in the Apple but abundant. If you wanted to catch one that is where I would go. Hard to go wrong in any of the area lakes for panfish.

I would expect this year to be a down one for Bone due to the high number of fish speared this past winter. I've heard over 200 muskies were taken and lots of 45"+ fish. The DNR does a good job with this lake but they have no control of the spearing harvest.

I've never been to the Apple, but will be up in Milltown this weekend. I'm interested in giving the flowage a try myself. Where's the best place to launch your boat?

[Nick Kuhn]

The one on River Shore Lane is your best bet. Limited turn-around and parking but it's never been an issue.

Nick, thanks for the info on the ramp. I'll post an update on how we do if we hit the river.

Dang, just found out there is a Musky tournament this weekend on that and the other muskie lakes in Polk county. I'll have to compete with others for a parking spot and fishing spots. Maybe I'll stick to walleye this weekend...

Head up to Bear Trap or Wapogasset for pannies and walleye.

Wapogasset has been on my list for a while to try. Bear Trap looks like it might be a fun lake to try. Wish me luck.

Ended up just staying on our lake as most of my guests were just looking to drink and play cards. So, I never hit any of the above lakes. Maybe later this year I'll give one of them a shot.
