Lake Holcombe

First time trying for Muskys, heading to lake Holcombe this weekend, just wondering if anyone has any tips on what has been working lately and what colors seem to be the best.

You should be in great shape, Holcombes a good musky lake. Guys are still getting fish on bucktails and topwater, I haven't heard but am guessing jerkbaits are starting to see more time in the water. Colors? No hot color, they catch em on a wide variety. Just realize its stained river water, I'm not sure if it will be green or not when you fish it. Good luck and be sure to post a report!

Well it was a tough bite, we floated the Flambeau from applethorn dam to where it meets another river cant remeber the name. Had 2 nice fish 1 bass 1 nothern. Fished the lake the next 3 days a couple of nice crappies and small mouths that was it. I did see alot of big fish jumping, hard to tell if they were Musky or Northerns. Cooter I guess you have met my buddy big Jeff, he said you gave him some spots in WI on a small lake, well thanks for the tips.

Holcombe was hot Tues night and not last night...typical musky fishing! Those big fish jumping were probably sturgeon. Your friend Jeff, did I meet him in person or online here? Can't place him.

Hey Cooter, we had met on here and you gave me some great tips for Red Cedar Lake last fall when I was in charge of fishing for my buddies bachlor party. We had some good action on the eyes and even a couple jumbo perch. Went back a couple of weeks ago and did alright, lots fish but almost all where under 15 so back they went but it was another good time on the lake. Hope fishing has been treating you well.

Ah yes, I remember now. Red Cedar's a great lake, I miss it as I haven't been there in a year or so.
