Lake Wilhelm

Fished for about 4 1/2 hours Wed. 29th, but no eyes! Did manage a couple of small crappies while trolling. Was a great day to be on the water, but then again every day on the water is a great day. Hopefully the fishing picksa up as the water cools down?

Fish are where you find them!

    Anyone fishing this Lake?? any success??
     
    I heard they stocked 3,500 musky fingerling to help take care of the gizzard shad population....considering how bad it is 3,500 sounds like a small number.

    Speaking of Wilhelm, I fished it a lot in the 80's and we just tore up on slab Crappie back then. Does the lake still produce good numbers??

    PSU thanks for the additional info, the paper made it sound like this was a "special" stocking to help rid the gizzard shad.....
     
    Gymi03 ---not to many slabs anymore a ton of crappie just mostly small.
