    The leaves have turned and fall is here. But it's not too late to get in some fishing for the year. Wisconsin's unique combination of lakes, streams and rivers, easy fishing access, opportunities for action and the potential for large fish, make it one of the top fishing destinations in the nation. Share the water, take someone fishing and mak...

    November 1, 2021 Steve Suman   Monday’s weather was somewhat “iffy,” but the forecast for the remainder of the week is encouraging. Temperatures will be a bit cool, but then with highs in the low 50s going into the weekend. For now, at least, there is no mention of precipitation (in any form!) In other good news...

A slide to cooler weather continues the following week as daily temperatures run about five degrees cooler than this week. On the up sid...

    By Dick Ellis Like anyone who owns or maintains a pier, Carl Surges faced problems  when putting in and taking out his parents ‘ pier in Conover twice each year; damaged framing and deteriorating decking , rusted hardware escalated from outdoor storage, or the time-consuming transportation of pier sections and accessories to and from th...

    Hurry, the fall colors are outstanding, which makes the fishing experience all that much more special.  Large mouth bass fishing has been up and down, some days there are good catches and the next it’s a struggle.  I have been fishing a lot of shallow weeds with a close proximity to hard (sand) bottom.  The fish I have been ca...

    This week saw fishing very good in the early part of the week but by the weekend the fish shut down.  Bluegills and perch have moved slightly deeper.  The bite has been sporadic however you can still catch a few nice fish.  The best depth seems to be the 25-27 ft. range.  Most of the fish are being caught on leaf worms or wax w...

    The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Lake Michigan Outdoor Fishing Reports are now available here.  The fall salmon run continues in Lake Michigan tributary rivers. In Sheboygan, the Pigeon River has produced Chinook salmon and a few northern pike. Anglers fishing the Sheboygan River have reported Chinooks caught at the Ko...

    October 11, 2021 Steve Suman   The forecast calls for a chance of rain and storms Wednesday through Wednesday night, possibly with strong winds and lightning. In addition, temperatures are starting to slide downward. Still some mild, sunny days ahead, but we knew a change was coming... eventually. That said, we certainly enjoyed a good run ...

    The lake still remains awesome for fishing.  The lake hasn’t turned over yet.  It will probably take another 3-4 weeks.             Smallmouth bass are still in the 20-25 ft depth range.  With the warmer water temperatures, nightcrawlers continue to be a safe bet.  Fo...

                Delavan continues to be in a transition period between summer and fall.  Due to that fact, some days the fishing is really good and others it is quite slow.             Earlier in the week, walleye fishing was good on lind...

    You will never find a warmer October than we have this year.  The fish are in a bit of a funk due to the extended heat wave we are having.  The lake temperatures have actually been increasing over the past week. Rock bass can be readily caught in the 12-15 ft depth range.  They are being caught on split shot rigged nightcrawlers or ...

    Fishing has been very tough over the last week or so.  The warm weather has confused the fish and they aren’t sure whether they should be in their fall or summer patterns.  The best bite on the lake remains the walleye.  They can be caught off the weedlines. Walleye pike can be caught trolling deep diving crank baits or jiggin...

    The yellow perch are everywhere in 12-16 ft of water.  You need to sort through a lot of the small ones to catch quality fish, however you can use the small ones as bait for the bass.  The best presentation is a leaf worms or a small piece of nightcrawler.  I’ve been straight lining with a single hook and a split shot beneath t...

    We had a week of warm, consistent weather that produced some great fishing opportunities.  Northern Pike fishing was really good all week, except for Sunday when the cold front moved in.  They have again been off the weedline in 20-25 ft of water.  I’ve found that the larger the sucker the better.  I’ve been lindy r...

    September 27, 2021 Steve Suman   The forecast calls for a beautiful week ahead through Thursday (not that they have not tricked us in the past!) with highs in the low 70s to 80s and lows in the low to mid-50s. Chances for showers start Friday evening and run through the (busy) weekend. Plan ahead and do not let the weather deter you from th...

    October 4, 2021 Steve Suman   Though the forecast for the past busy weekend was not encouraging, Saturday was dry and Sunday had only a few light, spotty showers. This week, the forecast predicts a few foggy mornings and evenings, sunshine through Thursday, lows in the mid-50s, and highs in the low 70s. Nearly perfect fall weather, so get o...

    September 20, 2021 Steve Suman   This week should offer plenty of sunshine once the heavy rains of Monday night move through the Hayward area. The forecast predicts high temperatures in the 60s and lows in the 40s ‑ except Wednesday’s low of 35 degrees! This is the time for considerable weather changes, so start digging out those flan...
