manitowish chain , Vilas County

Ice is starting to pull back on sunny edges a few feet. The deer aren’t having any problem crossing by Alderwood Resort yet. 

Any word on the ice headed up for a little work weekend and gonna throw in some tip downs.

28”+ ice still. Not optimistic on the notion.. 

Below 50% chance ice is off by the opener? What's everyones thoughts?

Not a report, inquiry:  Any reports of ice or lakes locked up on the chain?  Messenger is on.  

Thanks in advance!

My family is coming up in two weeks for fishing and relaxation.  How has the fishing been and how are the water levels? Haven't seen any fishing reports for some time.

Hi, my wife and I with another couple are staying in a cabin on the river between rest and stone lake. We are mainly going to fish for walleyes. We are giong up june 10th to the 17th. This will be our first time fishing this chain and wondering what would be the best lake to focus on for walleyes. Not looking for specific spots but just some general info to get started. Been wanting to go here for a few years now for a vacation. We are not taking any fish home just want to get some for a meal. Mainly up there to relax and be in the north woods.

I have been coming up that way fishing the Turtle Flambeau for about the last 20 years or more. Someone that lives in the area told me I should try the Manitowish area for Smallies. Smallies are my passion. I am strictly a catch and release fisherman. He has caught some dandies on a certain body of water that he wishes to keep a secret but wondered if anyone might know a great Smallie lake in that area with good size smallies? Thanks for any help.
