Vacations

What are your destinations?

Last time in that area it was all taken down except for a couple of cabin shells that were for sale.Back in the mid 60s we use to stay at Shady Resort 90 year old and 90# Mary Downy use to walk with a cigarette in one hand and an engine in the other.Some images you just never forget.

You guys are geting me all worked up! talking about smallies and wallies. Cabin needs to be powerwashed, painted and reroofed I dont see much vacation from here. Told the wife not to expect much once the weather gets right. Going to be all work and no play for a while.

Nif, Cool pics and nice looking Smallies your boys have, really nice coloring. I remember fishing log jams in the Flowage when I was a kid. Have some good memories of TFF. I may fish the flowage again, but I doubt I will stay anywhere on the lake as my father has a place in Vilas, not too far away - on Plum Lake of course lol... Greg- You nailed it, that is exactly where we stayed. Did someone else purchase the resort and it operates under a different name, or did it close all together.

Believe it was Hiawatha,they had one of their cabins that you would have to"walk the plank"to get to.Jack and his brother ? closed many years ago.

Plmlk, stay at http://www.flambeauvista.com/ on the Lake Bastine area of the flowage. Beautiful, comfortable accommodations... Scott & Kathy are the best hosts... the TFF is beautiful, good fishing and a true upnorth experience, imo ... not a trophy walleye fishery, but lots of walleyes,very nice panfish, musky and bonus football shaped smallies pics from recent trips: old fart relaxing whilst sons get the boat ready, #3 son with a beautifully marked smallie, #2 son with a typical smallie ... tried to think of where that may have been Plm, but it's not clicking...not a ton of resorts on the flowage

Thanks BT - got me thinking for sure! Nif - Where do you stay in TFF? I remember going up there with one of my friends when I was maybe 8 years old. I recall that the cabin we stayed in was accessed by a small foot bridge. We used to fish for crayfish there and throw them in a pot of boiling water, and then pull of the tails and drench them in butter.

Plmlk, You won't be disappointed. Not sure how much your wife fishes but there are plenty of other things to do besides fish. Whale watching, sea kayaking, nature hikes, bear viewing fly out trips. Some guests visit the lodge for nothing more than the photography experience. But the fishing would satisfy even the least of anglers because it's not really fishing, it's catching.

God's country in ~ 6 weeks, Flambeau Vista on the beautiful Turtle Flambeau Flowage!

I was down in Belize and Honduras a month back fishing the flats for Permit and Tarpon, was a great time. spent most the time in San Pedro, not really a place for kids and it as a bit Dangerous now. It was a Guys trip. I head to Mexico (Punta Allen) in a couple weeks to fish the Second Annual Ascension Bay Permit Tournament. It is mainly a benefit for the Children of Sian Ka'an, which made it an easier sell to the wife. Enrico Pulgisi, friend and fly tier is the host of the Tournament, and my fishing Partner is a well known extremely attractive, and talented female guide from Florida.. Should be fun.. My wife usually gives me the because see fishes in a Bikini when the weather is nice and She is on her own time.. Wife is going with to hang out for the week.. http://www.ascensionbaypermittournament.com/index.html
