Milwaukee area lakes: Steelheader.net- Steelhead, Salmon and trout fishing

Fished Pewaukee Lake Tuesday morning....very slow, which is what we expected from reports. Only caught a few panfish while drifting and casting various lures.

Spent Wednesday and Thursday mornings out on the water on guided trip purchased via Ebay. Target was musky....again, reports not encouraging, but ya do-what-ya-gotta-do. Wednesday fished Oconomowoc Lake with no success. Still had a good time on the water and learned some things about a fishery I was unfamiliar with. Today [Thursday] we decided to hit Fowler Lake and that was a real treat. On the water at 0500 and off by 1000. For a relatively small lake [approx 20 acres?] it apparently has alot to offer...pan fish SM/LM bass, walleye, northerns and some good sized musky. We managed to catch a couple small northerns, two bass, and within a period of about 30-45 minutes [around 0800] got visits from 3 musky in the 35-45 inch range - two were follow ups to the boat that we couldn't entice into a strike, and the last was hooked and brought to the boat but got loose within about 10-feet of the net. Life is good.
