Ashland’s “smelt run” normally starts around the third or fourth week in April, shortly after ice-out on the bay, and lasts only 12-14 days. North...

5/6/2014 9:50:00 AMDelavan Lake Opening Day was May 3rd. It was substantially less busy than the past few years. The fishing is better than I recall from last year even though the water temperature is very cold. Most of the action on the lake is coming off of a minnow bait. Lakeside Bait and Tackle has a good selection. Northern Pike action i...

5/6/2014 9:45:00 AMBy John Luthens My first open-water fishing exploits of the year can resemble a coach taking the field for the first time with a new team of little leaguers. There is the fresh outlook and high promise that every spring delivers, but the team itself is still an unknown factor. There’s no way of knowing how the season is going to shake...

Ashland’s “smelt run” normally starts around the third or fourth week in April, shortly after ice-out on the bay, and lasts only 12-14 days. Winds from the south cannot carry the ice...

Some anglers still reporting drilling to the gear box (32-34") but these are on areas that received heavy winter traffic with crushed down snow and slush. 12-16" of hard black ...

Some shorelines have pulled away thanks to Wednesdays sunshine and near 50 deg. Ice thickness seems to run from as little as 18" to as much as 30" plus. 22-24" seems to be the average with the bottom 14-16"...

4/30/2014 2:55:00 PMSteve Suman Anglers looking forward to the May 3 fishing season opener might want to avoid the weather forecast from now through Friday, skipping straight ahead to Saturday’s more encouraging predictions. Rain will help remove some of the snow and ice, but expect some challenges – and have some “PLAN B” options at the ready...

4/30/2014 2:55:00 PMIt's somewhat hard to imagine, that after such a cold and hard winter that we will have a fishing opener this weekend. Lakes are starting to open up more by the day. We can thank the wind and rain, because without that we would be fishing hard water again this opener. That won't be the case this year on many lakes though as open water is mor...

4/30/2014 2:15:00 PMOpening day for game fish is the first Saturday in May which is next Saturday, May 3rd. In the past week, we’ve only had one nice seasonal day so the water temperature remains very cold. This will likely make opening day a bit on the slow side. The warmest water temperature I have found is 49 degrees. The two best spot...
