Kalkaska County and Antrim County
Kalkaska County with miles of forest, broken by 86 lakes and 275 miles of trout streams is a sportmans paradise. With lots of state land and swamps the hunting is very good. Log, Bear, Twin, and Big Guernsey are great rainbow & brown trout lakes. While Elk and Torch offer great lake trout and huge smallmouth bass in the summer. Lake Skegemog offers great perch,bass, pike, muskie, large and smallmouth bass. Antrim County have a great lake system called the chain of lakes. This system offers a wide range of fishing. You can catch every fish in Northern Michigan in these lakes each lake has a different species of fish that is unique to the lake. Elk, Skegemog, Torch, Clam, Bellaire, and Intermediate Lakes form the chain that has some of the best water in the world.

Got a report of some smelt out of Twin Lakes west of Garlord northwest of Kalkaska. Halis and spikes worked great on the smelt Ice fishing . #icefishing #icefishinglife #icefishingnation #puremichiganfishing #livebait #livebaitfishing #bucsbait #bucsfishingreport #puremichigan #fishingreports #michiganfishing #icefishingmichigan #northernmichiganfishing #fishing
Great. There goes the fishing in that lake. It took years for it to come back the last time the word got out the smelt were there. Buc you are ridiculous telling people about small lakes that can't handle the fishing pressure. Facebook ruins many lakes every year because of posts like this.
Isn’t that lake like less than 200 acres? How about not naming small water.
Here it comes, the parking lot is going to be full tonight! Smfh
That lake will not have any smelt left in it now and won't be able to handle all the pressure. Why even post this I agree buck should stop telling everyone about the lakes I have seen many lakes ruined by this
Lakes like this shouldnt be named
Rick Wojtkowiak oh God another one of you guys 🤣 but yet here you are on a page that gives info on ice and fishing reports…. I bet locals on the lakes you travel to fish from this page think the same thing about you
You can easily look up any lake that has smelt on the DNR page
I love them breaded deep fried and dipped in Hoffmann house cocktail sauce!
Fife lake has the best smelt
Hell yeah! Safe ice and smelt! We are heading your way! Been struggling down hear for ice can’t wait to meet you guys! Bringing the whole camp!

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.Awesome catch and hope to have the same luck on my new lake effect 😀
That's awesome! Congratulations!
Big bluegill!
