Ashland Area Fishing Report for Oct. 17, 2014
~ Fishing Guide Roger LaPenter and wife Carolyn from Anglers All, 715/682-5754(http://www.anglersallwisconsin.com), report the following:
This report is about the Ashland side of Chequamegon Bay. The walleye are starting to transition, moving into shallow waters. People are hooking walleye as well as northern pike in the deeper weeds off the rock pile and the channel ledges.
Smallmouth bass fishing is really great right now with anglers getting in on that classic fall bite. The smallies are into their fall feeding patterns, frequenting their usual haunts such as the rock pile and breakwall. They are also being caught out towards Brush Point and Long Island.
Coho salmon still are not out in large numbers, but they are starting to show up as the water temperatures cool down. The steelhead action is happening late in the day and should only get better as fall progresses.
For the most complete and up-to-date fishing report, just give us a call at Anglers All and we will keep you informed!
