Right you are. I forgot about Lil's in there. Mel didn't last long, because you'd best polish your silverware or risk what was still lurking on there. Yep, had the deer pen out back of the gas station right on the river. Hunted the Black Sam for years back in your neck of the woods.
I live right off of Black Sam Rd.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
My in-laws had a place on Beecher Lake until about 2 years ago.I miss being able to walk out their door and fish the North Branch of the Pike River. And the bluegills in Beecher Lake were huge. Mary’s Place was an occasional stop and we still visit the area to see friends at Rocque’s 8-Hi.
There are so many places with top notch fish fries around here but we still like to make the hour long trip north to places in that area. One of the trips I plan to see if the chicken dinners at Richard’s are still worth the drive.

Richards has been bought and sold a few times in the last few years.I have not been in to eat there in a while.We used to go to Schaefers on the Peshtigo river for chicken on Hwy W out of Crivitz.They burned down a few years ago.

The Richards that I remember with the best memories was before they added on the dining room. Just a few tables in the bar area with those red and white checkerboard plastic table cloths and outstanding broasted chicken. That big 12 point mount on the south wall was a nice touch too. Trout Haven by 12 Foot Falls was a favorite too.
Johnm856, I never saw anyone fish the north branch, but that’s probably why you did. I sold out of there about two years back myself. I miss the area, but not the work and the property taxes.
My other auto is a .45
The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
There is so many good places that serve fish fries on Friday, it is difficult to pick the best. Close to home is the Spring Lake Inn north of Prairie du Chien, WI at the junction of Hwy 35 and County Road N. They have the usual fried cod and I like to change up once in a while with the fried catfish or "poor Man's lobster" baked cod. Oh, and it comes with a relish tray for the table.
When we visit relatives south of Madison Wi Fib's North at Brodhead, WI is a favorite. All you can eat walleye, crappies or bluegills.
Then there are the famous smelt feeds in Wisconsin. NoNo's Supper Club on Hwy 33 West Bend, WI is all you can eat.
