Are there any muskie lakes around Rothbury? Fishing partners brother bought a house there to use for hunting, fishing and a get away place.

That's kinda right in the middle of muskie wasteland… 40 minutes north to Hamlin and an hour to the lakes near GR. However, it is beautiful country and puts you near lots of other great fishing. White lake is outstanding bass fishing.

Kent – Murray, Campau
Kzoo – Austin
Allegan – Osterhout
Barry – Thornapple, Lower Crooked
Van Buren – Round, Bankson
St. Joseph – Long
Clinton – Ovid

All are within 1-1.5 hours of GR
