The Turtle Flambeau Flowage and Trude Lake will provide you with the ultimate in Northwoods Wisconsin fishing opportunities as you will find muskellunge, smallmouth and largemouth bass, pan fish such as crappie, perch and bluegill and walleye.

There are six boat launches on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage, one on Trude Lake and one on Lake of the Falls. From these boat launches you can access these waters by boat, canoe or kayak.
