    Great walleye fishing on area lakes with some big walleyes coming through the ice.  Most action has been on tip-ups baited with large golden shiners but we are catching a few fish by jigging with Northland Buckshot Spoons. The crappie bite has been fantastic with limit catches and fish up to and over 12 inches being the norm.  Mo...

    The brutally cold weather of the past week has really put a damper on both angling pressure and fish activity.  Sub-zero high temperatures and windy conditions have kept most anglers off of the ice, with a few of the coldest days seeing virtually no fishing activity on many lakes.  Some diehard panfish and walleye anglers did make...

    By Wayne Morgenthaler The weather has been nice and cold for making good ice.  The fish have been biting in most of the backwaters from Lone Rock to Boscobel.  Just make sure you have at least wax worms and red worms.  For some reason certain lakes one bait works better than others.  Small jigs of about any color seems ...

    Last week I took my youngest son out on the ice. Three-year old Don had a blast as I got him on a bite of smaller Crappie and Bluegills. It didn't matter to Don that most of the fish were small and he had just as much fun watching them swim back down the hole as he had reeling the fish in. Most of the Crappie on this day came on dead ...

    The extreme cold conditions have brought mix results to our area anglers. When fishing this past week the afternoon into late evening provided the best walleye activity. Smaller size minnows saw the most activity. Jigging off of gravel bars in 8- 14ft of water. Pike activity was spotty with fish taken on larger shiners on tip-ups in 3-6 ft. of wate...

    Believe it or not, winter fishing makes up nearly 1/4 of the annual catch in Wisconsin. People enjoy it for the solitude of being out on a frozen lake and the challenge of the sport. Fishing action can be fast and furious when winter seals the lakes under ice. Typically, the season in Price County lasts from December through March. Walleye, crappie...

    Steve Suman Yes, it is cold in the North Woods (-20 Monday night, but it is winter), however, trails and conditions are some of the best ever for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. The forecast for the week ahead shows temperatures becoming “less cold” through the week and – get this – highs in t...

    As can be imagined, not much for fishing participation this past week with either high winds through Saturday or brutal cold temps (down to -31 degrees including 2 days of school closings) through Tuesday.  A few people did get out and actually caught fish, but, if you didn’t have a permanent shanty with a good heater, you stayed home. ...

    Age brings change Joel “Doc” Kunz I started fishing at age 6 or 7, when I was brave enough to venture to the small quarry where the older kids played as I sat on a small rock outcropping catching perch and bluegill. My first trip home with a pail bottom covered with golden beauties taught me a couple of valuable lessons. First, make s...

    Weather has been up and down here in the Northwoods a bit lately.  High pressure and low temps (-9 to -20 degrees last night) put fish and anglers not in a good mood to bite or fish.  Windows of opportunity spring up.  Monday’s higher temps, lower barometer and better fishing follows. Pike:  Good-Very good.  Big suck...

    Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all... The snow is piling up on the lakes and travel conditions are becoming an issue when it comes to getting to local ice fishing hotspots, but angers are still proceeding onto the ice and with that, they are doing quite well. The walleye bite has continued to be very good at nighttime with some d...

    With all the family Christmas get togethers, I didn't make it on the ice this week at all but Customers are reporting a slow walleye bite with the best bite being right at dark. Golden shiners are the preferred bait right now. Anglers are split about 50/50 on using treble hooks or a wide gap single hook. I like using a number 2 wide gap G...
