website recommendation for Minnesota trip

[bill a]

Next spring/early summer, I am going to try to go on an extended fishing
trip in the area of Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan UP, etc. I can take a camper & power boat, and would
like to get away from civilization as much as possible. Primary target is
walleye, but SM bass, also.
Other than passing through a couple of times, I'm not very familiar with the
area. Any suggestions on where to start researching?
Thanks
Bill

Bill,

One area to look at might be the Chippewa Flowage in northern Wisconsin. On
a map you will see it about 15 miles ESE of Hayward. Here is a little bit of
how Fishing Hot Spots describes it. Herman's Landing is a campground on the
shore so you can leave your boat in the water.

SIZE & DEPTH - 15,300 ACRES WITH A MAXIMUM DEPTH OF 92 FEET IN MOONSHINE
LAKE.

WATER SOURCE - AN IMPOUNDMENT OF THE CHIPPEWA RIVER. THE EAST AND WEST FORKS
OF THE CHIPPEWA RIVER ARE THE MAJOR TRIBUTARIES. OTHER INLETS INCLUDE; HAY
CREEK, YANKEE JOE CREEK AND THE NORTH FORK OF THE CHIEF RIVER. THE CHIPPEWA
RIVER OUTLETS AT THE EAST END OF THE LAKE THROUGH WINTER DAM.

SHORELINE - APPROXIMATELY 93 PERCENT OF THE 233 MILES OF SHORELINE IS
UNDEVELOPED AND IN A WILDERNESS STATE. THE FLOWAGE IS DOTTED WITH 140
ISLANDS. SHORELINE OWNERSHIP IS SHARED BY U.S. FOREST SERVICE (CHEQUAMEGON
NATIONAL FOREST), LAC COURTE OREILLES BAND OF CHIPPEWA

BOTTOM - 60% SAND, 20% GRAVEL, 15% MUCK AND 5% ROCK. MUCK IS FOUND PRIMARILY
IN THE OLD LAKE BEDS AND SHALLOW WEEDY BAYS. SUBMERGED BOGS FORM AREAS OF
PEAT, BRANCHES AND ROOTS THAT OFFER EXCELLENT COVER FOR FISH.

WATER - MODERATELY FERTILE AND VARYING IN COLOR FROM LIGHT BROWN TO CLEAR. A
SLIGHT SUMMER ALGAE BLOOM CAN OCCUR. WATER CLARITY IS HIGHEST IN CRANE LAKE.
DUE TO PERIODIC LOW DISSOLVED OXYGEN LEVELS DURING WINTER, THE STATE IS
PLANNING TO PLACE TWO AERATORS IN THE CHIPPEWA FLOWAGE. THE FIRST IS TO BE
INSTALLED IN 1998 OR 1999.

COVER - STABLE WATER CONDITIONS AND LIMITED WINTER DRAWDOWNS HAVE RESULTED
IN AN INCREASE OF AQUATIC VEGETATION. EURASIAN WATER MILFOIL WAS
ACCIDENTALLY INTRODUCED AND CONTINUES TO EXPAND IN BOTH DENSITY AND RANGE.
PONDWEED AND MILFOIL ARE THE PRIMARY SUBMERGENT VARIETIES. THE DEEP WEEDLINE
IS FOUND AT ABOUT 10 FEET. CATTAILS, BULRUSH AND LILY PADS ARE PRESENT ALONG
SHORELINE AREAS AND IN SHALLOW BAYS.

THE CHIPPEWA FLOWAGE LAKE ASSOCIATION, IN COOPERATION WITH THE WISCONSIN
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, CONTINUES AN ACTIVE PROGRAM OF PLACING FISH
ATTRACTORS. RECENTLY, EXPERIMENTAL ATTRACTORS MADE OF PLASTIC HAVE BEEN USED
IN PLACE OF TRADITIONAL LOG CRIBS. A DEPTHFINDER IS ESSENTIAL FOR
PIN-POINTING

The stumps aren't a problem. I use a jet tin boat on small rivers, and it's
survived some pretty
exciting stuff already. :>)

That sounds like a neat area, and a good place to start.

For Minnesota you can NOT go wrong with Rainy Lake. You may want to go to
the Canadian side to get away from crowds. http://www.rainylake.org/
Then you would be on a eastward shot to pristine Northern Wisconsin where
you need to look up our own (ROFB) Steve Hubers.

That's my 2 cents. Joe Z.
