Walleye in Northern Wisconsin

[FISHINGFARMER]

Plan on vacationing for the first time in Northern Wisconsin with the family this summer (early August).

We have sent away for a vacation planner for the state but not quit sure if it will detail fishing?

Does anyone have a particular lake in mind that would have a nice family resort, somewhat remote and hold fairly good number of eye's in it? Studing a state map and DNR pages but thought maybe to look here for advice.

Thanks in advance.

can you be a little more specific in what area in northern WI you will be in? i'm sure that one of us will be able to help you out.

Quickstrike, Thanks for asking and the reply.

We are looking at the area northwards from highway 70. Sorry we can't narrow it down. I should have waited to post once our info came in the mail. Just hard to keep from thinking of getting away for awhile and never to early to plan it!

Thought this area would be less busy, if thats at all possible these days. Just wanted to see this part of the state. Don't need anything fancy, just a quite place to stay and if lucky enough maybe a few fresh eye's to enjoy eating in the evenings.

Thanks again

That would include the Hayward and Spooner area and there are tons of great places to fish. Lots of great muskie waters and many other options. Should be a fun time.

Wow, lots of good lakes above HWY 70... Hayward area has a ton.. Cable/Drummond/Barnes area has a ton... Then Ashland and Iron county too.. So many choices...

One area I would look to for secluded areas is around Clam Lake... Is still close to some bigger lakes nearby, such as Namekagon in Bayfield County, but has some decent smaller lakes in the area too in the National Forest.

Am not sure about resorts on lakes and those particulars, but I am sure if you used this link for the WI DNR Lake Maps (it is pre-set on Bayfield County Lakes), you can find some lakes and then you can cross check for rentals by doing an on-line search. Use this link to look at lakes in other counties as well.

The Clam Lake area is beautiful and very secluded, but again just one option for the area you are looking at. Good luck..

Swampscooter and Jim, Thanks for the info.

We will look into these areas that you have mentioned for lakes and possibly resorts on them. Having never visited this area we had no idea where to start to look.

Thanks again and can't wait for the family to visit the area.
