Kentuck Lake - The fishing is great!

Kentuck Lake

5.0(1 review)

My favorite lake on this entire sphere!. Kentuck Lake is approximately a 950 acre lake located in…read moreboth Vilas County & Forest counties. It has a maximum depth of 40 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from 2 public boat landings. Fish include Musky, Perch, Blue Gill, Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass & Walleye. The lake's water clarity is low. The lake is completely surrounded by beautiful tree covered rolling hills. Most of the shore is rocky & steep. But, a few areas have shallow & sandy beaches. The lake has some of the best fishing in Wisconsin. The lake holds a lot of natural structure. The DNR sank a line of log cribs to enhance fish habitats. The entire lake produces great fishing. I've landed 2 Musky's in a day on the lake. I've also have landed Walleye as big as 26 inches & Small Mouth Bass as long as 20" weighing 5 pounds plus. Walleye's are my only keepers, everything else I throw back. Fishing regulations are posted at each boat ramp landing, please read & adhere to these rules. Keep this awesome fishery strong. The lake is surrounded by approximately 50 lake houses, the majority are only occupied a few times a year. Traffic on the lake is slow, usually a handful of fishing boats most weekends. I've had it all to myself at times during the week. Our family lake house has been on Kentuck lake for the past 18 years. In all that time I've only seen about a dozen boats towing water skiers. We are predominately a nice & quiet fishing lake. Typical noises that can be heard are wind, water & the abundance of Bald Eagles soaring overhead. Just the way I like it!! You can get me out of the woods. But, you can't get the woods out of me!

(Bagley Rapids Campground)…read more One of the best campgrounds in the state, in my opinion. This is a semi-wilderness campground, and that's why I love it so much. No electricity is provided, something I love about this place, but you can pump fresh water from the well, and outhouse toilets are on site. The best sites are along the river, but only a few of them offer any real privacy or seclusion. Site 21 has the thickest surrounding vegetation and offers the best privacy of any site along the river. However, if being on the river is not as important to you as it is to some, the sites along the back loops offer the most privacy, and most people choose not to use those sites. On more than one occasion I arrived to find all the river sites full and had to stay in one of the back sites. Most of the time I was the only camper in the back loop, giving me the ultimate feeling of being truly alone. The rapids offer some great swimming in certain areas, but fishing on the river doesn't offer much. I also wouldn't recommend floating down the river, especially not along the campsites. There are areas along the river that are potentially very dangerous or deadly if you are not a good swimmer, so I advise caution at all times. Bagley also offers some fantastic hiking trails for those of you who love to be out in the thick of it. I would advise against wearing shorts if you decide to hike through any part of the forest that is not a trail. Poison oak and poison ivy are everywhere. If you are looking for an extremely peaceful and relaxing camping trip, one where you're not surrounded by campers, RV's, and loud annoying music, then I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Classic forested lake country. There are a ton of mosquitoes, but not particularly voracious. On a…read more sunny day hard to beat for natural beauty anywhere in the lower forty eight. Unlike Boundary Waters, a gentle, inviting woodland, however, the infernal combustion engine arrived long ago. The campsites are thankfully primitive. There are, to my knowledge, no rip off 'family' type campsites, the crash commercialism of which has become so widespread in recent years.

WOW - went in to get my son's new reel set up with new line (*I know very little about fishing) and…read morethis business renewed my faith in customer service and people who REALLY care. Tucker took the absolute best care of us, taught me how to tie on my son's hook, and made recommendations on the best set-up for what we were trying to do. I cannot sing the praises about how awesome this place is and will make sure anytime we need help with fishing this is the ONLY place we visit. From one business owner to another, keep doing things exactly like you are- we appreciate you and the wonderful employees you have taking such good care of your customers.

Over the past three years, I have been a repeat customer of this shop, booking more than a dozen…read moreguided fishing trips at $500 per day. Unfortunately, I have been consistently disappointed--not primarily because the fish weren't always biting, but due to multiple unprofessional issues with the guides. Key problems I've experienced include guides arriving late to the meeting point, a lack of basic familiarity with the lake, and smoking on the boat. On our most recent trip with guide Fred Palermo, he took over an hour to reach the fishing spot. In a standard boat with a 15-horsepower motor, the same distance should have taken no more than 30 minutes. It was obvious he was deliberately stalling to eat into my paid time. At this price point, customers deserve punctual, knowledgeable, and professional service. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this shop for guided trips.
