Ashland Area Fishing Report 5-24-2013
Fishing Guide Roger LaPenter from Anglers All, (715)-682-5754, http://www.anglersallwisconsin.
Reports: The Big Lake may be muddy right now but fishing is still great. The Bass are biting everywhere on the Big Lake with the Anglers using a variety of bait, both live bait and plastics like grubs, twister tails and tube jigs have been getting the fish to bite. The fish are very active now. The Inlands are having good luck with Bass, Walleye, Northern and Pan Fish all biting. The Creeks are just not good right now. They are too high and fast to fish but we always want to wet your appetite with the fish that are biting. It won’t be long before the waters clear on the Big Lake the Creeks come down.

Michelle at River Rock reports fishing was beyond great until the rain and cold temps hit us this week. Now the Creeks are just too high and rapid to fish. The Big Lake is muddy but very fishable and the outlook is good. It usually just takes a few days for the lake to clear up. Anglers fishing White River were catching Walleyes and Browns this week but anglers need to use caution as the River is high and flowing fast. The forecast is looking good for the weekend and fishing will get better and better!
