GCP I live in PDC and 2 of the supper clubs listed are on the list. The Black Angus which I'm not a fan of as it's more for uppity folks and is very expensive. The snooty folks tend to go there. The Barn is more my speed, environment and price, my wife and I like it there. We don't go often but once or twice a year. It's ironic you mentioned Bagley. I lived there for 12 years before I moved to PDC. It was called Luck of the Irish until about 4 - 5 years or so ago. It was owned by Tom and Lori Irish. It's now Lucky's and I work with the Dad of one of the owners. We both work 2nd shift and are the only 2 guys doing the job we do so we're working together everyday. Bagley's a resort town busy in the summer and pretty dead in the winter. The Cottonwood is also listed but I haven't been there in probably 30 years even though it's only 30 miles from me. My parents used to go there when I was a kid. They had awesome sirloin tips which were lightly breaded and friend pieces of sirloin steak. They were good.

I'll throw a nearby Iowa place in as well that classifies as a supper club IMO. The Old Rossville Store in Rossville IA. It's about 15 miles from PDC and they have really good Prime Rib at a reasonable price.
I'll add another IA one. The LIghthouse in Clayton IA, We went there on New Years Eve and had a very good meal. For the 2 of us the bill was $70.00. That's a steal on NYE.

The other thing that to me qualifies as a supper club is the salad bar that all the above offer. For me a good salad bar is going to be found in any supper club worthwhile.

I live right on the line between illinois and Wisconsin we still have a few but have lost some over the years.some good ones in the area,VILLAGE BAR,REDS SUPPER CLUB,LOUISBURG JUNCTION,3 MILE HOUSE AND COUNTRY HEIGHTS in no particular order.some we lost are ELMO CLUB,HIDEAWAY AND THE COACH&4 over the years.these are within a 15 mile radius from me.all serve excellent food.

You must live by East Dubuque/Hazel Green or Galena??

So in Wisconsin, you don't have to join, or even pay a membership fee to eat at a supper club? I've only seen pay to join clubs in Ohio and not many of those.

How are they different than a restaurant then?

GCP, I'm pretty lucky to live where I do. I have not been fishing much in the last 5 years and haven't had my boat in the water in 5 years either. I hope to change that this year. So where do you launch out of when you're fishing pool 10? I'm guessing River of Lakes or Wylausing. I used to know that area of the river really well as I grew up on it running setlines and hoop nets with my Dad. From just down stateline as you come out of River of Lakes up to above Clayton a little ways we ran nets and lines through there. We had a boat slip at River of Lakes.

I don't know the river around PDC very well. I'd rather fish around Bagley for that reason even though I know the river has changed a lot with silting in over time. Have you went up the mouth of the Wisconsin river fishing when you've been down around Bagley/Wylausing?

I stayed at Wyalusing homestead campground this last September and fished pool10 for 4 days
my state parks sticker is going to be my first choice for launch , I dislike paying a daily launch fee when I already paid the state tag.
I have not been up the WI much found fish closer.
I get the fishing hot spots map for each pool I am fishing and look around and see what I want to try it is always an adventure. sometimes I find fish and it is a catching trip.
we should go fishing some time my boat isn't anything special but it floats , stable and gets me places.
