The Fall Season on the Chippewa Flowage and area is where you want to be for fishing, the fall color tour, a break from a busy schedule at home and work, a time with friends/spouses/fishing buddies/sons/daughters or just go "up north" for a long week end.

At present we are in the wonder of color change in our forests and the migration of birds is a sight to enjoy. These are moments that must be experienced — – join us for a fall vacation on the Chippewa Flowage.

As the daylight time becomes shorter, we begin to sense a shift in wind and the approaching fronts from the West — the Loons, local Canadian Geese, our Whitetail deer Black Bear, summer birds, Red Squirrels, Chipmunks, and many other home creatures are already in a sense of urgency-prepare for the inevitable change in weather and cold conditions that will decade upon the Flowage and area in the months ahead.

Musky fishing has shifted to a pattern for lake water turn-over, very cold water, strong northwest winds, dropping weeds, a changing lake level and unpredictable weather — anglers know how to deal with the elements and dream about the potential for a fish of a lifetime.

Crappies are on the wood structure, schooled up, around planted fish cribs, and are feeding — the "slab crappie" is yours for the taking. Walleye fishing has been terrific on the Chippewa Flowage — anglers followed a pattern of weed development, near deep water drop offs, and a search and find/catch mode. The fall pattern will be similar except; go deeper, locate fish on the bottom structure, use larger live bait, fish mid lake deep water humps, and be patient on the set before the hook set.

Be somewhere this Fall Season — come join us on the Chippewa Flowage and Hayward area now!!
