Turtle Flambeau Flowage

Fishing was good the week of May 16 to May 23. We found the fish in shallow weedy bays. Mixed bag of walleye, perch, pike and gills. Most walleye were above the 15" slot so we released some nice walleye. Please write and call about not having dumpsters at the launches. Enjoy the flowage it is a special place on earth.  Wishing you tight lines.

Hey guys! Coming up June 20th. We usually go up a month later, in July. Recalling from memory, should we catch the end of the bluegill or other panfish spawn?

Thanks!

Fish are relating to rock piles or reefs. We have been anchoring in 15 feet of water and casting into 8 - 7 feet. Super slow retrieve using X-Large fatheads. 1/8 oz jigs are working well. 

No you do not need state park sticker

Is a state park window sticker needed to park your rig at the Springstead landing?

Islanddreamer  No Dumpsters. Contact your state representatives about the lack of funding for the Wisconsin DNR.

I turned 65 a couple of weeks ago, just bought my fishing license, 7 dollars. Some may say wow , that's awesome! Me, I say that is ridiculous, I and the great majority of people my age can afford to pay more for a fishing license. Guide license, 40 dollars? Yes raise those as well. 

Complain about the lack of DNR provided services but cut there funding? The wi. resident fishing license hasn't been increased in over 20 years. In that time, I haven't fact checked but heard (very believable) inflation has increased 168%. 

Not any kind of rant directed at the poster I am trying to answer the question. In fact the implementation of the for fee camping is from what I understand a byproduct of former governor Walker's Act 10 legislation.

I did start posting fishing reports on a Facebook I started using back in this past August. My goal was to copy and paste the fishing report to Lake Link, a small feat for my tech skills. I'm ready for bed, maybe tomorrow. Pretty weather beaten from the cold this week.  
Happy fishing season everyone.

Does anyone know if the dumpsters will be back at Springstead landing?   I would expect to have a place for my garbage if I'm paying ​$20 a night for camping

I was out over the weekend as well as 2 other boats with friends.  Water was 51-54.  Mixed bag of fish were caught: walleyes, bass, northern and crappie.  We fished shallow gravel and deep wood, fish were more active shallow.  It was a struggle to find walleyes larger than 12.5".  Minnows were king.

Has the Turtle Flambeau Flowage ice disappeared ?

The water north of Big Island is open. The wind took care of what ice remained a couple days ago.
