Van Vliet Lake
Van Vliet Lake is part of the Presque Isle Chain north of Boulder Junction. While shallow and lower in clarity, it benefits from chain connectivity and a quieter, northern location.
Its value comes more from access to additional water and low-key use patterns than from standalone water quality prestige. I have also heard glowing reports about the fishing.

This is a summary based on available information.
Van Vliet Lake and the broader Presque Isle Chain support a multi-species fishery featuring walleyes, muskies, bass, pike, and panfish, with Van Vliet’s shallow, stained water favoring weed-related patterns. Spring-fed inflows, weedlines, and subtle depth changes are common targets, and anglers often do well with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and jigs along 4–10 foot edges. Because clarity is low, fish can be caught shallow throughout the day, though dawn and dusk still offer particularly strong windows for larger predators. For cabin owners, Van Vliet offers a relaxing, chain-connected fishery that combines the feel of a quiet lake with the option to explore adjacent waters as time allows.
