Three Lakes Chain

GOT ABOUT 15 CRAPPIES OUT DEEP YESTERDAY.  THREW THE BIGGER ONES BACK AND KEPT 5.  WALLEYES WERE IN THE HOLES CAUGHT ABOUT 30 AND KEPT ONE.  NICE FISH FRY LAST NIGHT. EVERYTHING ON MINNOWS NOTHING ON CRAWLERS.  

AFTER A FEW DAYS OF FISHING FINALLY GOT ONTO FISH CONSISTENTLY.  NOT HAVING 20MPH PLUS WINDS HELPED.  WALLEYES ARE IN THE HOLES AND FOUND SOME CRAPPIES OUT IN DEEPER WATER DRIFTING WITH LIGHT JIGS AND MINNOWS.  SOME WALLEYES SHALLOWER ON THE BREAKS.  GOING BACK OUT IN A BIT TO SEE IF THEY ARE STILL THERE

September 18th been on Round lake for 3 days. Not a bite to be found except small perch. Usually the fishing is excellent. Are the walleye staying in deeper waters? 

Sat pm, Sun am, Mon am… pretty similar.  Fish in the weeds.  Little Perch easy on crawlers.  Small northern and small smallies in weeds and just on edge, shallow in 5’ or less.  One night fishing a shoreline for musky produced nothing on topwater.  Still had several more on that were lost in a boat of teenagers and fun seeing some action.  Most of the hits on spinners.

Got back from the Three Lake Chain and caught most my fish right on the weed edges, caught lots of smallmouths, perch and a few small walleye.  Most of them came from drop shot with a nightcrawler or a slip bobber. Did find a few fish on some of the rock humps.  It was a great area and hopefully will be back next year.  

Get some crawlers and leeches and find some weeds.  Try a slip bobber by the weeds or on top of some rock piles and pitch a jig off the edges.  Also you may want to try and troll in the 8-12' area.  There are some weed edges that go out to that depth, but not many.  Did not fish much last weekend due to having my son and his friends up, but got some fish that were all released.

Tkeyte,

Ph # 715-891-2098 website is pertileguideservice.com 
Fishing License costs for non-residents vary . First time fishing Wis. non-resident fishing license i believe are 1/2 price for the Year . You may want to compare that to a family fishing license if you have kids 16 years of age or older, and see which is cheaper ? Also there is i believe a 2 or 4 day license , but if you plan on fishing again in Wis. this year the 1/2 price yearly makes more sense ! 
Good Luck & Have Fun on your vacation <(((< 
WELCOME TO LAKE-LINK 
Let us know how the fishing was in your next posting ? <((((< 
PS: Ask the bait shop & the guide service where they eat ! There is a huge grocery store in Eagle River called Triggs i believe , if your cooking your own meals ! ENJOY !

Family and I are headed up to Three Lakes Chain this weekend for week of vacation.   I am bringing my boat and plan to fish when we are not boosting the local economy.   Curious of any recent fishing reports?  Never fished in WI.    

Finally found some crappies yesterday in 4 feet of water in cabbage. This chain is hard to figure out this year. It seems like we have had intermittent mayfly hatches for weeks and no established fish patterns, at least in daytime. I'm too old to fish at night. LOL

Up last weekend and day time fishing was slow.  Got into walleyes and bigger perch later in the evening.  Water temperature was around 78 - 80.  Crawlers on a jig and  along with a slip bobber did the trick.  Action was not fast, but got some walleye to eat.  Threw all the perch back.  Quite a few were over 10".   Lots of boaters out in the day and there were a few water skiing and tubing around 830PM.
