How close is the nearest muskie lake?

Post by Hamilton Reef » Tue Sep 27, 2005 11:08 pm

How close is the nearest muskie lake to you with legal size muskie?

This question is to get an idea how far muskie fishers need to drive in Michigan to fish for legal muskie. The distance must be to nearest lake (no matter if it is worth a hoot), and may not necessarily be the lake you would normally fish. No need to mention lake name. I'll explain my reason for the question later.

Hamilton Reef - 51 miles.

Eight miles. If those fish have seasonally relocated to Lake Michigan, it's 30 miles.

If any of the Austin Lake fish have reached 42" yet, I am only 5 miles away, otherwise I am about 20 miles.

8 miles currently. Before the move it was ~70 miles...when I retire I'm hoping it will be about 50 feet.
