Haven't fished Dixon personally...had a couple of guests who fished it over the past summer and did alright.

Anybody have some pointers for Justin32?

[Take'Em]

just wondering is dixon just outside of pennington?

[Drake]

Dixon is closer to Squaw Lake. FYI, it's a township owned carry-in access on the northwest shore of the south basin. It is a poor access with no parking

there is a resort with a good access but they might not let you use it unless you are staying at the resort. but it dont hurt to ask.

I launched my boat at the resort maybe 10 years ago. We did not stay there and they charged us $5 I think. Didn't catch any fish but it was a late spring and we hoped Dixon had warmed up more than Winnie.

I have had a summer place on dixon for a few years. There is a 17-26 protected slot which has made catching and releasing very productive. The lake is relatively small and provides only a couple spots for structure- many fish the weedlines in summer.There is no public access- the only access is thru the resort. I have caught crappies to 14 inches and perch that were 13 with relative regularity during the prime times for them-not to say you could not find them at other times. Many of the resort people opt for winnie or other lakes. I have had success on winnie, but the access is in the 3rd river flowage and a 3 mile boat ride out to the lake and can be very weed choked in midsummer. So I usually stick to dixon and have good success. Fathead minnows seem to outperform everything else on this lake- shiners, leeches, nightcrawlers I have tried, but a fathead is the ticket usually.
