If you’re floundering for a place to fish this summer, look no further. Whether your putting worms on a hook, or slipping into some waders to try your hand at fly-fishing, there are plenty of kid-friendly fishing spots around the Chippewa Valley including Eau Galle Lake, Braun’s Bay (Half Moon Lake), Lake Altoona, Lake Menomin, Old Abe Lake, Otter Lake ... So many lakes! And there’s plenty of fish in the sea, so relax and reel ’em in.
