Comments:

Today was another exploratory trip around the Black River Falls area. I was targeting both muskies and small mouth bass. I did not have any success on the muskies, but I did catch a few smallies.
This body of water was extremely beautiful, especially the upper portions where it was shallow and there were no dwellings. From the landing I headed upstream until it got too shallow for a normal boat, then I went upstream another half mile. All the bass I caught came upstream of the railroad bridge. The only muskie action I had was a possible follow (wake) that happened in the shallow upstream area.

Observations:

This flowage is not very wide but it is fairly deep and protected by high rocky banks. The scenery is very beautiful and very pristine in the upper shallow stretches.
