I'm sure this has been asked before,but in everyone's opinion what do you think the top three lakes are for the top three fish(Smallies, Walleye and Pike)?

Quality or quantity? B-dub or Q?

Best Bass Lake: can't tell you.
Best Walleye Lake: don't remember.
Best Pike Lake: kinda foggy, somewhere north of.......

Mixture of quality and quantity and in the BW.

Sorry Mountaineer, but the best fishing holes are found on your own.

I'll say this, though. It's more about HOW you fish a lake vs. which lake you're fishing. Learn how to fish with a jig and learn how to fish reefs, points and weedlines and you'll be successful on nearly any lake in the BW or Q.

Top 3

Pike-Basswood
Walleye-Lac la Croix
Smallmouth-Brule

Walleye - the lake I'm on
Pike, Smallmouth - do people really fish for these?

Smallmouth should not be considered in the top 3 BW/Q fish. Lake trout rate WAY higher than smallmouth.

Thanks Mr B. Nice catch.

I found Alder and Swan to be very good for all three.

Can't really see how someone could dislike a smallmouth or a pike for that matter, are you only fishing for food? Walleyes fight like a wet plastic sack.

I agree - the fight factor is as important as whatever roots certain fish have. I really enjoy a smallmouth, or a largemouth, and the 38" pike I caught last summer was a real thrill for me. Maybe I need to "live" near these walleye to enjoy them more! Oh yes, I do enjoy eating all of them.

Lake Agnes has all three in it.
I love the fight of a Smallie, the hunt odf a fighter northern, and the tender juicy flakes of a walleye. I have found the best fighters are also the best tasting!

Happy Fishing! Is it May 23 yet???
