Heading up to Crystal Falls, MI next weekend. Has anyone been out on the Paint River, Paint River Pond, Brule River Flowage, Peavy Pond, or any of the lakes in ...more the area and been doing any good?
Probably going to target musky most of the time (CPR only) but would be open to learning anything new about the water, as we have only spent one trips worth of time on Peavy and part of the Paint River via Peavy Pond and the Little Bull Diversion Canal. -
Details: Just arrived 3/20/2016. Anyone have guide/charter/outfitter recommendations?
Want to explore and target multiple species.
-
Check orange beach marina. They have many charter captains there.

No problem.
-
Awesome thanks for the tip. Appreciate it
-
Dam is probably a better bet. North Nokomis and the Rainbow Flowage are also worth a visit.
-
I've iced fished it before, a member of my family used to live on the lake and I would visit every summer. There used to be lots of smallies in there, and some ...more decent panfish. Ice fishing is pretty slow but you can occasionally take a bass or snake pike on a tipup. I got a walleye one time at night as well. I don't know if there is public access though.
-
Hey thanks for the reply. I am actually on dam as well and will be headed up this weekend. Was just looking to explore a bit and was wondering if that lake was worth ...more a try.
-
Jake, I have never fished it period. I have a friend that lives over on Dam Lake. He may know something about it though. Just looking for some general advice? ...more Let me know and I will ask him.

Also, we were both so excited that we forgot to measure this fish. Ron is about 6'7" for perspective. I think the fish was around 45".
-
Best part about this catch was that Ron was using an old spinning reel with old 6lbs test on it and a cheap leader. Just before it hit I asked him about the line. ...more Once I heard that fish hammer it on the surface I rushed to get the trolling motor down to chase him around. After a few good runs, she was in the net and Ron was holding his largest musky. After we watched this guys swim away Ron had an even larger one swing and miss 10 minutes later. Coming back next year for more Pat Hingos. For those of you wishing to make the trip up to Peavy Pond/Paint River, The Michi-Aho Resort is a great place to stay and Pat Hingos, the owner, and his family are all great hosts. Boat rentals available, which is how we did this trip.
