      It may not feel like it, but spring is just around the corner when many animals start their annual spawning rituals. Fish are no exception. In fact, many species undergo surprisingly long and complex migrations, often for spawning, but also for other purposes. Spring is the best time of the year to get outdoors and see a variety o...

    And we thought it couldn't get any worse.... Last weeks two days above freezing was followed by nearly a foot of new snow, making access on most lakes next to impossible. Trucks, snowmobiles, even Rangers & Quads with tracks are having trouble getting stuck. Conditions have been bad enough to keep most lakes angler free. A few with fishing not ...

    Steve Suman Participants in the 41st annual Birkebeiner this past weekend found no shortage of cold or snow for their event. A major winter storm late Thursday afternoon through Friday morning dropped more than 18 inches of snow in some areas, blown by 40 mph winds. It did not stop the Birkie, but it did not help the already poor conditions for ic...

    Finally a break in the weather.  Not great, but, by this winters standard, a nice weekend to be out.  The east winds didn’t help much for the fish, nor did the high pressure system.  That has all given way to a new batch of snow on Monday that will only add to the travel problems. Pike:  Good.  Action, as well as par...

    Steve Suman We have plenty of snow and more on the way, but the coming week’s forecast is for warmer and windy, though with a return to the cold temperatures next weekend. Disappointing for many, but it is only mid-February! The DNR is holding its second annual Fisheries Management Forum Wednesday, February 19, at Hayward High school. The m...

    Dear Winnebago System sturgeon spearing enthusiasts: Well it’s all over for the 2014 sturgeon spearing season, and I’m sure many spearers are already looking forward to 2015.  A total of 89 spearers harvested fish on the final day of the season, bringing the season total on Lake Winnebago to 1,513 fish.  95 of t...

    Fishing has continued to stay somewhat slow overall. Fish are being caught, but you're working for each and every one of them. Warmer temperatures are forecasted, and I'm hoping things will turn around and start a steady bite again. Things will only go up from here.  When it comes to catching crappies and walleyes, one typically targets them ...

    With most mornings starting off in the double digit/below zero mark (17-23 below the last four mornings) participation in the ice is down quite a lot. Fishing was understandably slow due to cold and high pressure system hanging over our area.  Lack of wind made things bearable during the day as temps warmed up to 7-14 degrees above by mid aft...

    If your venturing out on the lakes, make sure that you know where you are going if traveling with any wheeled vehicle. The heavy snow cover and pockets of slush have made it almost impossible for anything but foot and snowmobile travel. Hopefully warmer temps in the forecast will settle the snow down a little on the lakes and make travel a ...
