“It’s one of the old canal lakes, so it’s fairly shallow and narrow,” he said. “There’s a lot of good structure in the lake. And, there’s a decent spillway fishery below the dam. There’s a lot of lotus and lily pad beds in the lake, so if you’re a bass fisherman those are good places to try.

Clearcuts, mazes of downed timber from storms and rock outcroppings may hinder you, but that is where the game lives. Most hunters will turn away from this kind of territory, but those who prefer to press on will often find the spot they are looking for.

Healthy populations of walleyes, pike, bass and panfish continue to make Gogebic County’s Thousand Island Lake a fishery worth visiting.
Part of the 15-lake Cisco Chain of Lakes, Thousand Island Lake is located approximately 13 miles southwest of the town of Watersmeet in southern Gogebic County. Big African and Lindsley lakes flow into Thousand Island and the lake drains into Cisco Lake and eventually into the Cisco Branch of the Ontonagon River.

Jeff Frischkorn: Ohio Division of Wildlife publishes expenditures for 2024

Blogs, Fishing, Hunting, Ohio, Opinion / Jeff Frischkorn

The Ohio Division of Wildlife’s money tree is watered by the state’s anglers and hunters. Even the greenbacks from the federal government pour from funds supported in one fashion or another by sportsmen and sportswomen.
And for Fiscal Year 2024, the agency brought in $92,367,367 while spending $92,244,172. If that appears the wildlife division is cutting things close, it’s important to remember that year-to-year revenues and expenses are not always apples-to-apples identical, nor even close. To stave off being destitute and pleading “more gruel, please” the wildlife division squirrels away enough funds to anticipate projects and unexpected expenses.
