Fishermen are catching all species right now in certain areas. Old weed beds from the past se...

4/25/2013 12:15:00 PMGreat walleye bite on the Wisconsin River right now. Lots of nice eating sized fish being caught and a few very nice slot fish (20 to 28 inches) as well. Most of the action has been coming on lead head jigs tipped with fathead minnows working the deeper pools in the river but lately with the higher faster water a lot of the fish have sl...

Sandhill cranes walking through nearly a foot of snow appear somewhat befuddled – and the Monday/Tuesday forecast predicts up to another 11 inches of snow. We are already more than a month into spring and have yet to enjoy any real spring weather! Pa...

For the fishermen that like to jig, small spoons or jigs with plastics are doing good. The Crappie are suspended hig...

4/17/2013 2:15:00 PMBy Steve Suman It is mid-April, but last weekend’s weather was more akin to February, and this week the forecast again shows chances of snow nearly every day.
