The water is much more shallow in the South Chippewa Basin - 250 to 300ft vs 600 - 800 ft deep in the Chippewa basin up North (Can you tell that I've fished?). This means cooler summer temps and warmer winter temps up North near shore along the lake. There are also more constant steady breezes up north - I have not noticed any bugs in a long time..
It's not night and day, but it IS different imo. I'll take that deep blue beautiful fresh water as far as the eye can see any day from either spot though.

Fall is best - it's spectacular right now.

PS - we also have good snow - last year was great.
