How To: Book Your Stay At Musky Joe's Twin Pines Resort

3/15/2019

Hayward WI Chippewa Flowage Fishing Resort

For most people, taking a vacation is a BIG investment. There are so many things to think of: filing for time off, where to go, what specific spots meet your needs (and budget), whether to stay at a hotel / motel, private home, or a resort. Research, research, research. Myself personally, I am hard pressed to do anything without a plan. I work too hard for my dollars and have too many people relying on me to NOT make the right choice.

So you've scoured the internet for just the right place to go, and decided that the Chippewa Flowage in Hayward, WI is THEE place to be. Fantastic!!! I agree, the Chippewa Flowage has a lot to offer in the spring to fall months (if I had a snowmobile I think I would be more agreeable to the winter months ... haha!) The fishing, the boating, the peaceful isolation, the sheer beauty of the Flowage makes it a one of a kind destination.

Everybody, say Hi!!! to Baby Brother Bear: Musky Joe's Resort's new mascot!!!

Good morning, All!!! My name is Bear, I turned 3 WEEKS OLD yesterday!!! I'm a big boy now: I can walk, my eyes are open, and today .. today I even ate real canned puppy food. That was awesome!!! (And got EVERYWHERE .. HaHa!!!)

Where to begin, hmmm ... Mom and Dad named me Bear for a couple of reasons. Two winters back they both lost people INCREDIBLY important to them. Mom lost her Grandpa, the grand-patriach of Musky Joe's Twin Pines Resort (and he LOVED BEARS. Many years back four little baby bear cubs were orphaned out on the Chippwa Flowage. Grandma couldn't bear (haha get it, bear) to see them starve, so she adopted them. You can find Grandpa's photographs of the bear family in all the cabins and up at the lodge. Shortly after Grandpa passed on, Dad lost his step-dad, nicknamed Bear. Grandpa Bear was one of the most important people in Dad's life, he and Dad's Mom always had Dad's back.) So here I am with one heck of a name and legacy to live up to.

I love lots of attention. You can say, I'm kind of a diva. That's why I get my own blog spot ;). Mom likes to call me Baby Brother Bear (she's a little weird, and for some reason, it really embarrasses my sister Melody.) Mom also likes to call me handsome, sweetie, big chunky pudgy love (I really think Mom needs to get out more.)

I'm really looking forward to growing up on a resort, small town life in Hayward, WI, swimming and running for days. It's going to be greeaaatttt!!! I really hope to meet you all this summer.

Hey!!! I hear something, oh it's my real Mom calling. I have to go now, it's nap time! Don't worry, I'll be back ....

How To: How to Fillet a Fish in 12 Easy Steps

It was a GREAT day out on the Chippewa Flowage, the fish were hitting like crazy, and the kids insisted on keeping them. As you dock your boat back at Musky Joe's Twin Pines Resort you wonder to yourself: Now what???!!! Don't despair, our fish cleaning house is stocked and set to turn those fish into a delicious meal.

Filleting fish takes a little finesse. Knowing the correct process to fillet a fish can make the difference between getting barely enough meat for a side dish and harvesting enough for a fish feast (not to mention getting all those nasty little bones out!)
