Somo Lake, Lincoln County (all postings)

Anyone out there who knows the history of this lake?My Grandpa(last name Lippke)used to own a series of small cabins on a point of land back in the 50's.I would like to take my 2 boys up this summer for a fact finding mission.I have read the the previous posts but am looking for anyone who can add anything.Thank you in advance for any info...

Red cloud landing is on the south side of the Somo. Take 86 west out of Tomahawk to the airport, and turn right and follow the airport road all the way down till it turns and you will see the landing. Can't miss it. The airport road is out of town about 3 miles.

hey guys where or what is red cloud landing? i have a place on the lake and will be there this weekend work permitting. have done fairly well for walleyes when i have gone, so looking forward to it, good luck. i will post when i return this weekend also.

Another night on Somo, another Walter. Not fast action but a nice fish. The bottle bass where awesome

Thanks Mike

I was up river by Red Cloud Landing. It is not uncommon to see some current in the river channel and the ice does not get as thick.

I made it back out there today for a few hour before dark and managed to catch 4 more pike. One was 27" and the other three where short at 19-21". I moved my boards shallower today and it seemed to help. I also caught one hefty perch on a tip up. Approximately 12" long. I did not try jigging for panfish today on Somo.

Where did you find 10 inches of ice? I haven't seen less then 14 or 15 out there. I wanna stay away from whee you where with the truck.

Thanks Mike

I went out off of Red Cloud and set out boards. Got three pike biggest was 27.00" Slow tough bite today. I did some jigging in 14 to 20 feet of water and found small 4-5 bluegills suspended 5-7 feet under the ice. I thought they were crappies at first until I caught a bunch. No size, and I was surprized to see them suspended like that.

I have been out there quite a bit lately. I haven't seen a Pike yet. Granted I have not been targeting them either. I am going to try again tonight for some more wallys though

Anyone getting much action for pike? I will be going there tomarrow to give it a try.

Out again last night from 12 till about 6. Managed 2 Walters. Not much else doing. Fished away from the crowd in the north basin.

My farther in law and uncle went out on somo yesterday. There was a nice path plowed out form the boat landing. They were fishing in about 12 fow with crappie minnows and waxes. All in all they caught 12 crappies and a few gills. None of them were real big but they had some action. Lots of people out there.

Good luck.

Went out tonight for some Walters and came home with a couple. Here is a shot of the 21 incher

I was on penny a couple weeks ago and there was 11 inches then. Nothing biting except small gills and crappies.

ANYBODY BEEN ON PENNY LAKE YET?

Fished tonight from 1pm till 6pm. good Crappie action. Not much else doing. Managed about 5 nice keepers. Not a tip up all day though. Ice is awesome. Drove my Yukon all over no cracking.
