    SPOONER, Wis. - In an effort to help address human-bear conflicts in an area of northwestern Wisconsin that has had serious conflicts in recent years, state wildlife officials significantly increased the number of bear harvest permits in that area for the upcoming bear hunting season.

    Steve Suman IF the forecast holds true, this should be a beautiful week in the North Woods, with mild highs, moderate lows, and (again IF the forecast holds) only slight chances for rain.

    By John Luthens Maybe I’m close-minded, but the Milwaukee River corridor flowing through my hometown of Grafton, Wisconsin seems surprisingly noncommittal to the whims of urban development. I’d like to believe that regardless of which new big-box store is going up on the fringes, or which dam and fish passage is being debated in an en...

    Summer is slowly nearing the end as kids will be heading back to school soon, and many people will start trading the fishing rod in for a gun or bow. No need to do this yet as there is plenty of good fishing to be had, and more to come as we roll into fall. The largemouth bass are sitting in the vegetation as they search for small baitfish to gorg...

    Steve Suman One could easily condense the current forecast for this week’s weather into one short sentence: Mild temperatures in morning and night, with chances for showers. Do not let the “maybes” prevent you from enjoying your favorite outdoor activities, especially as we start to wind down summer! “Fish muskies on weed ...

    We have had some good August fishing in the Phillips Area, the walleye have been a little tight lipped but the Crappie, Northern, and Musky are making up for it. Ross's Sport Shop guides have been finding the Crappie scattered in 8 to 20 plus feet of water right now. We are catching most of the Crappie on plastics, Beatle Spins, Twisters, ...

    By Wayne Morgenthaler The water levels have been falling as we have not had rain for about 4 weeks.  Fishing remains good for most of the county.  Trout are biting on Panther Martin Spinners.  I used a larger green and yellow spinner and landed a nice 17 inch brown.  Also, caught some smaller trout on the same lure.  Most ...

    Cooler nights reminding campers of September instead of August  Cooler nights are reminding campers of September instead of August. Even though it is only the middle of August, boating has slowed down as the water temps have dipped. Despite the cooler weather kayakers and tubers still dominate some rivers on weekends. There are plenty of sand...

    Delavan Lake fishing overall has been excellent.  The best bet on the lake is bluegills and largemouth bass.  The fish have remained shallower than normal.  The best depth overall is 6-10 ft of water.                 Largemouth bass can be caught in 6-8 ft of...

    Due to the cooler than normal summer, the fishing has been a bit slower than normal as well.  There are plenty of fish to be had, however the schools of bigger fish have been few and far between.                 The smallmouth bass have been sporadic.  The best de...

    Lower than normal water temperatures in Central Wisconsin are creating uncharacteristic fishing conditions for this time of the year.  With overnight lows in the upper 30 to lower 40 degree range we are already seeing a push from the local fish population towards traditional fall locations. Not only are the fish moving towar...

    Walleye seemed to be a little sluggish this week, My boat did catch them but we really had to work for them and downsize our lures even more then what I usually do. The Crawler bite is almost equal with leeches. Bluegill action is still strong, They have moved up a little more shallow to weed edges and fallen timber, almost like a post spawn patter...

    The overall bite on Lake Geneva has slowed a bit for the game fish.  Presently the bluegill bite has been phenomenal.  The water continues to be cooler than normal and the deep water schooling smallmouth bite hasn’t really started yet.  If you can find schools of minnows, the bass will be right behind them.  They are diffi...

    The action on Delavan Lake has improved from the previous weeks.  With the cooler summer, the bass haven’t moved out on the deep weedline very much.  The best action is in water depths of 6-13 ft of water.  You will find multiple species there. Largemouth bass fishing has been excellent in 6-8 ft of water.  The fish are a...

    It has been another great week in the Central Wisconsin area with some very nice catches of fish being caught.  The muskies bite continues to be very good with the best action early and late in the day.  Walleyes have been giving us a pretty good bite, but for constant action the crappies and bluegills are hard to beat.  Mos...
