    Headed out the door now to Pixley Flowage. Will be fishing all day long either on Smith Lake/Pixley Flowage or below that dam down to the dam by Crowley Road.

    I am scouting out the location for walleye/bass/panfish/musky for my mother’s friend.

    Anyone familiar with the area or can give me any tips? It’d be greatly appreciated as I am going on this mission never having fished the area. All catch and release.

    Hopefully will be posting pics from the adventure later tonight!

    I used to put a canoe in at the Crowley dam and fish from there down to Oxbow for muskies.Lots of smallies in that section,never fished above the dam tho.

    Ended up putting in and fishing the southern portion of Pixley Flowage. Boy is that an interesting body of water…Stumps and logs everywhere, including lots in/around 15-20ft of water! Caught a few bass using 1/4 jig with twister. Lots of people out fishing early in the morning…talked with a few and one guy got a couple musky follows and a 33” on sucker. Then floated the section between Pixley Dam and Crowley Dam on the River. Possibly the most gorgeous float I have ever been on. Trees are in full color and are very distracting to fishing. Ended up catching 3 skis between 20-32 on that section along with a decent amount of healthy bass. Pictures below just of scenery….(tough enough to take solo fish pics on shore, but from a canoe it is impossible )
