The lakes in the Hayward, Wisconsin area have very good crappie fishing from Mid-April to Memorial weekend as a rule. I have lived in the area myself for 20 years. While owning a business myself with two others started an annual crappie fishing contest on Lost Land, Teal and Ghost Lakes. The area is known as the Quiet Lakes - no ski or jet ski. You can find information for the area at one of my sites if you wish at Hayward Wisconsin Events.
