The Minocqua Chain of Lakes are a very popular chain of lakes right in the middle of Minocqua, Wisconsin. It is one of the most popular fishing towns in Northern Wisconsin yet it provides plenty to do for those who don’t want to go fishing. Plan on having plenty of boater traffic during the summer and especially on the weekends. During the peak tourist times, you can still find somewhere to fish in the mornings and evenings though. When the lakes aren’t busy, it is truly an amazing fishery to experience without the crowds. Anglers spend most of their time on the 3 biggest lakes and they fish for a little bit of everything.
