Ryan Kral Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Anybody have any info on a good stretch of the WI to float? I am looking at the Merril or Stevens Point area as a smallie/musky float. Any advice on launches or takeouts would be great. Most of the info I can find is on the lower WI below the dells, which Im not interested in.

Ryan Kral Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah, I'm aware of them. I really try not to ask guide companies about floating or fishing their home waters unless I have too. I'm sure their nice enough to give me some info, I just don't like it. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronk Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 You can always stop by the shop & buy a little something if it makes you feel better about asking for the info.It's always nice to visit a flyshop whatever the reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k olson Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 The man to talk with is Gordon P. he knows this river with several different stretches. In fact we did a float trip from Merrill last season. If you are fishing solo it will be tough without a ride back to takeout but it can done according to Gordon with some pedal power. Send him a pm or I have his number if want to get a hold of him. I would love to hit that area again, we landed several big northern & I my first muskie. I can also give additional if needed, I agree about not calling the guides but think they are more in the Stevens pt area anyways. If you got room hit me up.

Ryan Kral Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks. I was thinking about starting in the Merrill area, I heard it's a good stretch from there. I will have a second car, so we'll be doing the shuttle. After I figure out the details, I'd be happy to include one more if this works out. I'm still trying to get the day off work I need.
