| 308.1 | Alan Lake | OLHEAP::JFISCHER | Jim - OpenVMS Partner in Detroit | Mon Jun 21 1993 10:57 | 7 |
| Got a ride on a friends boat last Friday Evening. He took me to Alan Lake in
the Irish Hills area. Actually, Alan Lake is a sting of 5 small lakes with
cannals connecting them together. Nice place, all the sign of a good fishing
spot are there, good weed beds, clean water, plenty of shore weeds, water depth
ranged from a few feet to 32 ft but no fish. There were a few, but they were
little (caught 4 10" LM). It seemed to me that these lakes have been over
stressed. I'll right Alan Lake off for the next couple of years.

| Jim,
"Walled Lake"....North of Novi? I was in training a few years ago and
took my rods with me. After class one evening I got out the map and
decided to drive to Walled Lake to fish. I drove around the lake
trying to find a place that wasn't posted and ran across a house that
was being built right on the water. There were lilly pads all along
the backside so I put on a buzz bait and caught a 15" largemouth on the
second cast. I got a few other hits but couldn't hook them.
It was to the left of the spillway the first second dirt road on the
right after looping around the lake.
A couple of days later I went with a couple of guys that worked in Novi
to a gravel pit about 10 miles out on the west side. We caught several
bass, one of the guys caught a 3lber on a tiny torpedo.
I am heading for Pentwater Mich on the 17th of July and can't wait. I
love fishing there. You can always catch something.

| 308.3 | BUDD LAKE, Michigan | OLHEAP::JFISCHER | Jim - OpenVMS Partner in Detroit | Mon Aug 23 1993 18:24 | 9 |
| Fished Budd Lake in Harrison Michigan for the first time this weekend. Not a bad
lake, lots of Blue Gill for the kids and some small Perch. I caught some LM Bass
(13 to 15 inches) and was told that there were Muskie in the lake. The lake is
weedy to the point where crank baits (especially trolling) are a pain. We caught
everything on worms/crawlers and leeches.
However, the number of water skiers, jet skiers, and power boats made this
little lake a mess. Fish it during the week, early morning or late night, or
on bad weather days to avoid the wakes.

| When I was a kid my family used to go to the U.P. just south of Wetmore for our
vacation every year. I would like to go back there this September to fish those
lakes again. The two lakes I remember most are McKever (sp) and Bass Lake. I
would also go try Chicago Lake. I don't remember this lake, but it is where I
caught my first fish 39 years ago.
Has anyone fished those lakes in the last few years? If so, how was the fishing
and the condition of the lauches? I am concerned about dragging my 18' boat
out there and not being able to get it in the water.
Also, if anyone can recomend a place to stay, that would also be appreciated.

| 308.5 | Chicagon Lake | ANGLIN::LEONARDI | | Wed Aug 25 1993 19:01 | 13 |
| If you are referring to Chicagon Lake in Iron County (between Iron
River and Crystal Falls) it is a very pretty, deep, clear water lake.
It is known mostly for its Muskie & Walleyes. I camped there this past
June with my wife and kids. The water was cold but we caught plenty of
panfish and a few smallmouths as well. The lake is over 100' deep in
the center.
Pentoga Park is the campground adjacent to the lake with wonderful
facilities. The launch was nothing special but I had no problems
with my 18 ft Ranger. There are a ton of lakes within an hour of this
one if you get bored.
