This video was awesome! The Chippewa is one of the most unique places in WI. I loved seeing the fishing clips in this one. Makes me reminisce about all the great memories up north in Hayward
Thanks for a look at the flowage. I'm close to the Willow and I haven't even got over there with a canoe, though I've driven around it and checked put-ins back when it was nearly empty during the drought. Now everything's so full, so I should get off my rear at some point.
Your welcome! Thanks for checking it out. Another viewer mentioned the willow. Definitely gonna have to check it out. No drought worries this year that's for sure.
Been fishing the Chip for 26 years. I'll never understand why the DNR doesn't create more camping islands. 18 isn't much for 15,000 acres. The willow flowage has twice as many and is half the size. The Turtle flambeau flowage is your best bet for island camping and canoeing. I believe there are 60+ sites scattered around 13,000 acres.
@@UpNorthAdventures The Turtle Flambeau flowage is much more canoe/kayak friendly. More densely cluster islands, longer channel areas and further out of the way backwater areas. I'd advise going there once school starts, most of the islands are vacant during the week after that.
Thanks for this. I am planning my first trip there this year. Is there a company that will rent you canoes and drop you off/pick you up? Is it hard to get a camp site? Are the bugs bad any particular time of year? Thanks for sharing!
There's a lot of resorts that have rentals in the area. Hayward wi. Has rentals as well. Not sure about shuttle though. It can be hard to find a site during weekends and holidays. I don't know about the bugs. Have fun!
