This past weekend Treeland Resort hosted the fifth annual Treeland Premier Musky Fly Fishing Championship on the Chippewa Flowage and other area waters.
Sixty-four anglers fished local lakes and rivers in search of the trophy musky. With abnormally warm temperatures, high winds and low water, tournament fishing was much slower than previous years. A total of 15 musky were registered ranging in size from 25 to 41 inches. Most of the catches were made on the Flambeau and Chippewa rivers.
