Fishing
on spring-fed, 200-acre Lower Kaubashine yields a wide variety of fish,
including walleye, musky, northern pike and pan fish. Spring crappie
and bass fishing are the Gibson family’s favorites. Although working at
the resort leaves little time to fish, Troy and Jenny can direct you to
where they have heard others are having luck. Stopping into Hilltop’s
Rathskellar is also a great way to pick up on what is biting and where.
Other good spots for anglers within ten miles of the resort are
the Willow and Rainbow Flowages, Lake Minocqua and Lake Katherine. In
addition, the Northwoods is home to literally thousands of lakes and
hundreds of streams and rivers, making it one of the top Midwest
fishing destinations.
For a guided fishing experience, consider contacting Barry Klatt, a local Musky guru who lives on Lower Kaubashine. Klatt owns BK Guide Service and specializes in a variety of area lakes, as well.
Or, if you are interested in exploring the secrets of a Northwoods walleye, consider Hazelhurst guide Greg Bohn.
A
free fishing boat is provided with each cottage, and motors may be
rented by the day or week. If you would like to bring your own boat,
you are welcome to do so. All boats are launched at Hilltop Resort just
down the road for a $5 fee. We have plenty of extra docking at the
resort.
For live bait and the world’s largest selection of musky and Northern pike tackle, stop by Rollie and Helen’s on your way to the resort.
