I live in Minocqua and was going to make the same comment as the last poster, but did not. Kurt Justice @ Kurt’s Island Bait is a good place to start. I think his number is 715-356-4797. Tell him Mark Benson sent you.
Squaw is a long skinny lake with as far as I know dark water, good populations of small walleye, crappie & muskie. I will look it over and get you some more info. I have never fished it though I know of some that do. I have never really heard anything bad either. Other good lakes in the area west of Minocqua would be along 70, Squirrel, Shishobogema and Buckskin. North is the Flambeau Chain and there is a number of lakes with numbers and trophy potential. West is the Pike Round Lake Chain which has good numbers of panfish, smallies, walleye and muskie. South is the Willow Flowage and east is the Minocqua Chain.
You may hear wolves at night to go along with the normal loon, whippoorwill thing at night.
More later.
