Welcome to Lac du Flambeau!

Boozhoo! Hello! (Anishinaabemowen or Ojibwe language) ~ More Words

We would like to invite you to experience the Lac du Flambeau heritage by sampling our succulent organic strawberries from the Golden Eagle Farm, find comfort in the traditionally harvested wild rice, and you can’t forget the mouthwatering Fry Bread. Walk the paths that our Ojibwe ancestors did, see how they built their homes, tools and the games they played. Shop at Adaawe Place, our new shopping district, and see the crafts and art that has been taught to generations. Take a break on the ample park benches throughout downtown where you can sit back and “Refresh Your Spirit”.

Pow Wow's Where a HIT!

My wife, two kids (ages 7 and 9) and I are yearly summer visitors to the area and we attended the Pow Wow last Thursday night.  It was absolutely fabulous!  I can't express enough to the organizers and creators of the event just how much we enjoyed it, learned from it, and appreciated the opportunity to be a part of it through the inter-tribal participation. 

The Pow Wow is a wonderful tradition and celebration for all.  Last year we very much enjoyed the experience of the village at Waswagoning.  This year the highlight of our trip was the Pow Wow. 

We much appreciate the energy and enthusiasm of the dancers, the chanters, the drummers as well as the effort of the organizers to bring the Pow Wow back to life.  

Your contributions to keeping the Native American traditions alive are worthwhile and appreciated.  If we visit again next year, we'll be back for sure.   

Sincerely, 

Bob Ray

   Water temps on the chain have risen with the hot weather, they are in the mid to high 70's. Walleyes have been hitting light jigs tipped with crawlers and minnows. Try weed edges in 11 to 14 feet. The best weed edges seem to be near deep dropoff's. There has been reports of action on midlake rock piles also. Fish these in the evening with slipbobers and crawlers. Musky action should be good in the evening and at dark with suface baits worked over weed beds. On calm nights use lures that make lots of noise. Pike action has moved a little deeper, try countdown rapalas in 10 to 20 foot weeds. Bass are still feeding in the weeds in 10 to 14 feet. Use shad raps and rattletraps to find them, then go back thru the area and try jigs tipped with crawlers. Bluegills, perch and crappie seem to be up and down the water column. Try small spinners, plastics and berkely gulp to find these fish, then use bits of crawlers and small minnows tipped on small hooks with a split shot.
