Chippewa Flowage, Wisconsin - Freshwater Fishing Report
West side of lake
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.
