The Pike Chain of lakes is comprised of nine named lakes (from upstream to downstream): Pike Lake, Buskey Bay, Lake Millicent, Hart Lake, McCarry Lake, Twin Bear Lake, Muskellunge Lake, Eagle Lake and Flynn Lake. This chain of lakes is a popular place to fish, boat and just enjoy the outdoors.
This chain used to be known more for its walleye fishing, but things have changed and the bass fishing has taken over. There are still walleye in these lakes, but in much lower numbers. The bass fishing has gotten really good for largemouth bass and smallmouth bass. There are good numbers of fish here with big fish potential too. Muskie are here as well, but in low numbers. Northern pike and panfish round out the fishery.
