Fishing the Deerskin

Dennis N.

Phelps

Some of the best memories I have (going all the way back to early childhood) have been in Vilas County and in particular in and around the Phelps area. Fishing the Deerskin for a few trout is always a wonderful way to reflect on and recall earlier memories as well a wonderful way to take in the beautiful, peaceful environment that is the Northwoods. If a few trout are caught (which is usually the case), it’s just an added bonus.

Growing Up [North]

Jen W.

Eagle River

School’s out and that means it’s time to head to Eagle River where I would spend a majority of my time. The cabin shaped me into the person I am today, my love for the outdoors and my independence was embedded in me as I would spend my days exploring with my best pal, a yellow lab named Casey, roaming side by side (I’d share my secrets with her because she never told anyone!). Picking raspberries along the dirt road, jumping off the dock into the Chain O’ Lakes, and sitting by a fire at the end of the day with my family was how we liked to spend our time. As I grew up, my time spent in Eagle River decreased but my love for the serenity of the Northwoods grew stronger. Once I headed to college it went from months up north to weeks. Now that I’ve graduated I look forward to my annual Daddy and Daughter week at the cabin. No memories are more special to me than fishing with my best friend, who still puts up with my fear of taking the fish off the hook 23 years later! This photo is my dad and I fishing on the chain from a few years back. Our smiles say it all, nothing beats a good day fishing. My cabin will always be my second home no matter where life takes me.

Teaching the importance of the release

Doug P.

Minocqua Area

While fishing with my two sons in central Vilas County, I was able to catch a very nice musky. After some quick pictures, I placed the fish back into the water. My sons asked why I was letting the fish go (confused because we had harvested a few walleyes earlier in the day). I told them that we don’t keep most of the fish we catch, only a few, and we never keep muskies, no matter how big or small. They asked why? My reply was simple – so some day you two, or someone else, can catch her again and be able to enjoy what we just did. We want to preserve these fish as best as we can. Foundation has been established.

My fishing snag that wasn’t a snag

Tim M.

Eagle River

My son, dad, and I were fishing on the Eagle River chain on a beautiful fall day. We were catching some fish, but also getting our lures hung up on some logs from time to time. I pulled back on my rod only to exclaim that I was hung up again. My son said, “Uh, Dad, your line is moving sideways.” So I gave it another pull and the big fish pulled back, took off on a run, and battled for several exciting minutes before Dad got him in the net. Just one of many memories from up north we like to talk about. Of course, they often hassle me about not being able to tell the difference between a snag and a fish.

One of my favorite moments was my son’s very first trip to Presque Isle. We stayed with family on Oxbow Lake. Daniel was 4 and wanted to fish but had never casted a line. He practiced for a long time before adding frog bait for weight. Within minutes he caught his first fish. He was so proud, he did somersaults and had to call everyone back home to tell of his success. He was later able to catch a few more and was thrilled! Upon returning home, he spoke to someone about his “big” fishing trip. Daniel shared that he was a great fisherman however just kept catching the same one fish over and over! I will always remember the expression on his face and the great day at the lake that day.

My husband and I were at our cabin in Vilas county for a long weekend. He was planning to do some ice fishing and catch the Packer game at a local bar.
Friday night we went to Gooches 2 for a great fish fry and to see some old friends and the new building.
We fished a small lake Saturday morning and caught a few perch. Around noon we took a drive to decide what lake to fish Sunday. My husband has a few favorites and I guess he picked the right one. On our way back to our cottage we stopped at the Burnt Bridge near Conover and watched the Packers. Great time and great people to enjoy the game with.
Sunday afternoon we packed up and headed to the lake we chose. There was about an hour and a half before sunset so my husband was in a hurry to get all set up. Before we had all of our tip ups in I had caught a few nice perch, all out of the same hole.
While jigging, my line broke so my husband tied a new hook. The flag popped up on the same tip up as earlier, I was sure it would be another perch.
As soon as I felt the pull I knew it was something better. As the head came into the hole I was in shock. Just as I pulled it up the line broke. So I had to grab it before he went back in.
That is the largest walleye I have ever caught through the ice.

We love Vilas county!

The fish of 370,000 casts

Jeff M.

Eagle River

They say the muskie is the FISH OF 10,000 casts. Well at the age of 47 and 370,000 casts later, I finally caught a muskie worth bragging about. It was a miracle that I landed this 48-inch monster. I was fishing out of a pontoon (never easy), on an ultra light pole with 6 lb. test and a mister twister bait. I have been going up north since the age of 10 and have continued the tradition with my children. We let the muskie go, after a few photos, with the hopes of the future that my kids’ kids will have the chance to land a once-in-a-lifetime fish like this one.

Grandpa Zdralevich’s place on Rest Lake

Becky V.

Manitowish Waters

Joe Zdralevich ( my grandpa) had a awesome place in rest lake. When he passed, his 3 kids thought it would be best to sell as it was expensive to upkeep. They all still ran Merichkas Restaurant in Crest Hill, IL. Now that we grandkids are grown and have our old families, I really miss it. We had ski boat, fishing boats, snowmobiles. Lots of lakefront, wet boathouse. Probably worth 10x what they got for it. I have dreams I sneak in there when the new owners are gone. (I would never do that!) Lots of great memories. Learned to water ski, snowmobile from bar to bar, went horseback riding , Jim Peck’s wildwood, had deer feeders. So much fun my kids will never experience. The pic is me from the late 80’s.

A 30 year dream coming to life!

Kevin M.

Boulder Junction

My moment starts just over 30 years ago when my family and I started vacationing in St. Germain and Manitowish Waters in beautiful Vilas County. Over those years, I have developed family memories over 4 generations – through my father, grandfathers, and in recent years, to my two sons as well.

We have enjoyed water sports, fishing, biking and four-wheeling in nearby locations, and have always dreamed of owning our own place. Unfortunately, my grandfathers and my father have passed away, however we are finally making this dream a reality after many years of searching!

Attached is a photo of myself, Kevin, (age 42) and my two boys, Ryan and Ethan (14 and 11, respectively) at our new place in Boulder Junction, on Wild Rice Lake, of the Manitowish Chain of Lakes.

Not only are we excited to have purchased this property, but we are also even more excited to build our dream home as we have plans with Everest Builders in Minocqua to start construction in June.

Everyone we meet tells us the same story, which we already know, which is “You’re going to give your boys the best gift they ever could receive; memories of spending time together in Northern Wisconsin.” I agree and know my father would be so proud of this opportunity with his grandchildren.

Our story has just begun – there will be so much more to tell!

Pond Hockey on Island Lake

Each year we look to build a huge ice rink at our cottage on Island Lake on the Manitowish Chain for our family and neighbors to enjoy. This year the weather cooperated and we were able to play on the lake, skating, ice fishing and pond hockey from mid-December through New Year’s. Our kids skate until the sun goes down. Wonderful memories!
