Lake Information for Turtle Flambeau Flowage

The Flowage provides the best of north woods fishing experiences. The Flowage supports a diversity of native warm water fish species including walleye, muskellunge, northern pike, smallmouth and largemouth bass, lake sturgeon, and various panfish species.

The Flowage is best known for its superb walleye fishery. Walleye are by far the most abundant gamefish and provide the majority of sport fish harvest. Natural reproduction and abundance of catchable size walleye are outstanding.

Black crappie has proven to provide some exceptional panfishing during the early summer months and through the ice. Like all crappie populations they are cyclic and when numbers are up fishing is tremendous.

Muskies provide outstanding trophy angling. In the past muskies in excess of 50 pounds have been caught. Annual stocking is used to supplement the limited natural reproduction.

Smallmouth bass provide quality fishing when action is slow for other species. "Smallies" in the Flowage are exceptionally heavy fish for their length.
