9/25/2014 2:15:00 PMFrom the Pendergrass Library The ‘hatch’ would be upon us if the weather would cooperative even just a tiny bit. It’s close, but it isn’t quite here. Typically we should have had a string of hot, humid days well before July, days with enough heat to leave shirt collars sticking to the backs of your necks, and glasses of be...

9/25/2014 2:15:00 PMFrom the Pendergrass Library For the trout-chasing angler the most sought after trophy next to an actual fish on the wall is ‘the photograph.’ You’ve seen the picture before, it’s of an angler - usually a guy - he’s got on his waders, the ball cap perched atop his head is askew, and he’s down on one knee. Acros...

9/25/2014 2:10:00 PMFrom the Pendergrass Library Last year Santa managed to get an ice auger down my chimney for my son, and this year he followed it up with a Vexilar - a fish locator, for those who might not know. It’s an electronic gizmo with bells and whistles designed to alert the operator that a fish is approaching his hook. I’m told all good ice fi...

9/25/2014 2:10:00 PMFrom the Pendergrass Library As we floundered down what should have been an easy trail, slipping and falling into the icy, melting slush, we both considered turning back. We would be soaked before even reaching our destination. And we come from a long line of outdoorsmen more accustomed to taking the easy road, so quitting wasn’t out of the ...

9/25/2014 2:10:00 PMFrom the Pendergrass Library Down below the bridge I crossed the river where it was shallow, moving slowly so as not to spook any of the already rising trout, and now the nearly full moon was to my back. Away from the river the blackened shadows danced quietly in places where the moon couldn’t reach, the land yawning at the approaching night...

9/25/2014 2:10:00 PMFrom the Pendergrass Library In 1995 the president of the United States was Bill Clinton, the Twin Towers of New York loomed large over that city, and a gallon of gasoline would run you about $1.35. Nineteen years can seem like a lifetime ago and still pass in the blink of an eye. I caught my first steelhead in April of that year, on my first ope...

9/25/2014 2:10:00 PMFrom the Pendergrass Library Each year, when the roof begins leaking in the family room of my house, I know steelhead season is close at hand. Don’t laugh, it’s true. One would think the first order of business would be to fix the roof, but it never it is. No, now is the time to put away the ice auger and tip-ups, slide the boots into...

9/24/2014 6:50:00 PMBy Randy Williams A long time ago, before cell phones, I went fishing with a good friend, Bert. We also took my wife’s little black dog named Nikki. The place we chose to fish was Lake Poygan. Our landing was on the east shore where the Duck Inn once was. We launched, put the dog in the boat, and then Bert tied up the boat on a dock. (Nikki...

9/22/2014 11:05:00 AMDelavan Lake remains pretty spotty. The best bite on the lake remains the bluegills. The smallmouth are starting to heat up though. The boat traffic on the lake is almost non-existent. Bluegill fishing has been very good in the 13-15 ft depth range or suspended the main lake basin 15 ft down in 40 ft of water. The sus...

9/22/2014 11:05:00 AMOverall the fishing on Lake Geneva has been difficult. The typical patterns on the lake are not available which makes the fish very scattered and hard to catch. When you do get on the game fish, they are typically less than 15 inches. The smallmouth bass are in 15-22 ft of water. They can be caught on lindy rigged nightcrawlers o...

9/22/2014 10:50:00 AMCentral Wisconsin was the place to be if you were headed into the outdoors last week. With that said it looks as though things are shaping up for another banner fall season on the water and in the woods. Hunters had good success in the woods with the opener of the 2014 deer archery season. A few nice deer were taken like the ni...

9/17/2014 11:45:00 AMA very cold first half of September has lake temps dropping quickly from averages of 71-73 degrees just two weeks ago to surface temps plummeting to the 57-59 degree average. Certain species are still active, while fishing for some others has nearly come to a complete halt. Crappies: Fair-Good (and improving). Big slabs of 12-14"...

We have had plenty of rain but the good side is that most of it has been absorbed by the soil. Trout streams remain normal with Sept 30th being the end of the season. Trout are biting on all types of bait with some nice 17 inchers...

9/17/2014 11:30:00 AMOver the past three years, fisheries biologists have solicited public input on all aspects of panfish management. They found that although anglers are not interested in sweeping changes to statewide panfish regulations, they are interested in addressing specific lakes with overharvest issues. With this in mind, the department is proposing regulatio...

9/17/2014 11:20:00 AMDelavan Lake is in a transition period from the summer pattern to the fall pattern. Fishing has been slow due to the tremendous cold front that hit last week. I’ve gone from double digit catches of game fish down to single digit and have been seeing only the smaller fish. With some stable weather fishing will improve. The b...
