Lake Namakagon Muskie Fishing Guide

“Namakagon is considered by many a “trophy fishery”, with a 50″ size limit muskies are given the chance to grow big, and they do. There are very few lakes in Wisconsin that offer up a better chance at breaking 50″ than Lake Namakagon…”

Lake Namakagon is about 40 minutes northeast of Hayward, and is located entirely in the Chequamegon National Forest. Namakagon consists of 3 different lakes that make up the head waters of the Namekagon River. The structual diversity on Lake Namakagon offers the oppertunity to use a wide variety of tactics under all types of conditions. With plenty of cabage, rock, mid-lake humps, large points, and complex shore shelves there are constantly new patterns and challenges to be taken on. Lake Namakagon offers everything a musky angler could want, including a chance at the fish of a lifetime.
