Lake Chippewa, also known as the Chippewa Flowage, is a 15,300-acre reservoir located in the center of Sawyer County, Wisconsin. For decades, it has been highly regarded throughout the Midwest for its spectacular natural scenery and high-quality fishing opportunities. The flowage impounds the East Fork and West Fork of the Chippewa River and has earned a reputation as a world-class fishery in a wilderness-like setting. Most notably, it is home to the world-record muskellunge — a 69-pound, 11-ounce fish caught by Louis Spray in 1949, recognized by the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame as one of the most well-documented world record catches of all time. With a maximum depth of 92 feet and distinct eastern and western basins that offer different fishing experiences, Lake Chippewa provides diverse angling opportunities in a pristine natural setting.
