Not exactly sure what Spunk you are referring too, but there are Upper Spunk, Middle, and Lower Spunks. I would say Upper and Lower get the most pressure--with Upper probably getting the most. There are some nice pike in Upper and the water clarity is pretty good and there are always some guys spearing there. Its also has some walleyes and crappies. Middle probably gets the least pressure--there are walleyes there--a few people spear it. Lower gets a few spearers out there--its sunfish are pretty small, but it has decent crappies.

i am looking at all three different lakes. i think im going to go and check it out.

is there accesses on each lake?

in the summer time, can you get into all three lakes with a boat, meaning that if you land in one can you get into the others via boat?

im new to area, and still trying to figure out all these lakes around here.

I know upper and lower both have a good summer and winter access. Upper's acces is on the west side of 94 and lower's access is a little drive through the town of avon to get to it. Never been on middle.

I dont think you can boat from lake to lake by water

All three have accesses. No way to go from lake to lake by boat. Decent panfish in upper and lower. Never fished middle.

They can be great lakes....Upper and Middle have the best water quality if you're looking to spear, but Lower has some surprisingly nice pike in it if you're willing to run after flags. smile

The panfish in all three, like most lakes in the area, run small, but there are some very nice crappies in Middle if you can find them. The same is the case in Upper, and in my experience, sorting a few out on Lower will get you enough for a meal.

As others have said, there are walleyes in Upper and Middle, too, but I lack the skill and/or knowledge to catch them consistently.

I grew up on Middle Spunk. It is an extremely underrated lake!

There is a good number of large Walleyes in both Middle and Upper. If you are going after walleyes try the middle of the lake where it narrows down. There is a rock pile along one of drop offs. There are also good crappies in Upper and Middle, locals nail them in the couple small lagoons in the spring time. You can catch sunfish in all 3 of them, but I have never caught a lot of what I consider to be keepers.

In my opinion if you are into just catching lots of fish go to Lower, but if you want to catch better fish hit up Upper or Middle for sure.

Most people who spear on Middle go over where Spunk Creek flows under the interstate from Upper into Lower. I dont spear, so I cant really comment on that. I do know there are some fat pike in there though.

I dont live in the area anymore, but if I did I would fish Middle regularly. If you fish it a few times I think you will find that it is a vastly underrated chain of lakes.

      I must be real lucky, caught another healthy one, 30"  in the shallows tonight less than 6 FOW.

      Dude, I already trolled that spot, nothing but slimmers!  😄 Glad I saved money by stopping smoking a while ago. It's free most of the summer now! Been calm and yellow out for days! 🤧

      Bet you would enjoy a nice paddle down the Cahulawassee River, too then. 😏

      Talked to my neighbor is getting ready for a trip via fall lake.    They use small boats with like 10 to 25 hp outboards and portage wheels.   There are two portages to get into pipestone bay, with the second one being over a hill.   From pipestone they can go around to Jackfish? bay,   There is a big sign to warn about where the no motors area is.

      On the South End... The walleye and sauger bite continues to be very good with anglers enjoying consistent action.  As we transition into fall, fish are being found at various depths, but 25 - 32 feet of water has been consistent. Jigging continues to pick up as the waters cool.  Water temps this week are down to 64.  Top jig colors this week include gold, orange, chartreuse, and pink.  For some anglers, big numbers caught this week jigging with frozen emerald shiners on the lake.   Some anglers are jigging on or adjacent to structure.  Others are finding schools of walleyes and saugers out over deep mud.  Using sonar to find fish is helpful.     Spinners and trolling crankbaits continue to produce fish as well.  This is a transition time where multiple presentations are working.  As the season progresses, jigging will take over as the top technique.     For those pulling spinners, gold, pink, orange, glow red, or glow white has been successful. Adjust your weights to 2 - 3 ounces to match the depth and speed you are drifting / trolling. Trolling crankbaits is still producing nice walleyes.  Some goto colors are gold, chrome / blue, pink UV firetiger, and chartreuse.     More and more walleyes are showing up along the south shore.  It seems things are gravitating towards fall patterns where good numbers of the fish are both chasing shiners and moving closer to shorelines.  The bite has been excellent and is really shaping up nicely for the fall jig bite both on the lake and in the Rainy River. On the Rainy River... A variety of species continue to be caught on the Rainy River.  Nice current flow is providing fall anglers some optimism for this year's fall shiner and walleye run being a banner year.  Some reports of nice walleyes being caught in the river already this week.   There are reports of shiners in the river all the way up to Birchdale.  Things seem to be setting up nice for a great fall on the river.  Mother Nature will have the final say of course. Sturgeon fishing is picking up with cooling waters.  Anglers anchor up and use a combination of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig with a flat no roll sinker.     Find a hole in the river or simply mark these big fish in an area, anchor up and soak some crawlers! Up at the NW Angle... Walleye fishing up at the NW Angle remains really good. Fish are being found in many areas.  Structure, neck down areas as well as on the flats.   Some good fish are still holding in the deep mud east and northeast of Little Oak Island in the mud.  Areas around Four Blocks, and north of Garden Island producing fish as well.    As on the south end, jigging, spinners / crawlers and trolling crankbaits are all producing walleyes.   Smallmouth bass, pike and muskies are also being caught, both by unsuspecting walleye anglers and when targeted.  As the waters cool, crappies and jumbo perch are also showing up nicely for anglers.
