We fish for walleyes and bass, and caught a lot of them, plus we get an occasional northern, mostly small ones – only kept one 24 inch northern – most guys don’t want them because of difficulty removing the "Y-bones". The rule this year was all northerns over 29-1/2 inches get released. You are allowed 4 walleyes and 4 bass and only one walleye can be over 18 inches. Walleyes taste better to most people, but bass are more fun to catch because they fight more and sometimes break water when reeling them in. The bass are 99% smallmouth, but sometimes an occasional largemouth comes along. One day in one of the portage lakes, a friend and myself caught 80 fish over two 3-hour sessions. Only twice in all those years have I seen a muskie caught, but then we don’t target them – muskies are known as the fish of 1,000 casts.
