From the vast water wonderland of the 14,300 acre Turtle Flambeau Flowage to the far-reaching wilderness of the 74,500 acres of public forestland, Mercer offers authentic outdoor adventures that you will remember long after you?ve returned home.

Was up there over memorial day weekend and caught one bass. Muskies were beginning to spawn. But crappies were up shallow in the weed beds and were just finishing up spawning. I slaughtered the crappies, but muskies were up shallow feeding on the crappies. Had a great encounter with a 45 inch muskie. I was reeling in a crappie and the muskie hit it. Once it saw the the boat it let go. We saw the same fish tailing on top of the water. I caught one other muskie about 25 inch.
