As expected for this time of year, fishing has been phenomenal on the Flowage, at least as far as walleye. Most aren't having problems limiting out in a short time. Catches seem bigger this time of year as well. Lot of 16's-17's instead of the typical Chip Frying Pan 13s. Weeds arent bad, pike arent bad and the heat isnt bad. As long as you dress a bit warm, conditions are beautiful.

We've been having the most luck with minnows, deeper during the days and in shallower weeds/dropoffs in the evening. Both Big Banana and Little Banana are bringin in fish on the west side.

From what I understand, the crappie havent gone crazy yet, but they are sure to not be far behind.

Keep up with us all on the Chip at http://www.lrgraf.com . Several contributors are out fishing and posting daily, getting ready for our upcoming summer fishing contest.

Good luck out there, guys!

Bio: During the summer months, I live at Tiger Musky Resort on the Chippewa Flowage in Couderay, WI. I have enjoyed my summers up here fishing and living in the Hayward area for as long as I can remember. A few years back, I started www.lrgraf.com . Originally a daily personal fishing log, it has grown into a fun and interactive forum for many visitors, residents, and even guides. This year, we added four new contributors (in addition to myself) and also added a photo album for users to submit photos along with their reports. We will be hosting our second annual fishing contest this summer as well. Last year we gave out approximately $400 in prizes donated by local businesses.
