1/23/2013 8:40:00 AMMADISON - Free kids’ ice fishing clinics scheduled for coming weeks are just the ticket for kids suffering through a winter in which scarce snow has put a damper on their sledding, snowball fights and other fun in the snow. Free kids ice fishing clinics are on tap in many communities; this mom and son enjoyed a lesson at the Yahara Fishing C...

1/22/2013 4:40:00 PMThe propane companies love weeks like this. Bitter cold and below zero temperatures are pushing fisherman into ice shacks to stay warm. The one positive result is we are building ice, and by the sounds of it, we still need that to happen. Two vehicles went through the ice on Red Cedar Lake in the last week. Please use extreme caution still wh...

1/22/2013 4:25:00 PMBy John Luthens The ice was coming on nicely in the area lakes and the pan fish and northern pike were coming up through comfortably deep holes. My jig poles and tip-ups were resting contentedly in a bucket and my portable shanty was happily tucked in a white blanket of snow in my truck bed. Then came freezing rain and the white powdery cov...

1/22/2013 4:15:00 PMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice Brrrrrrr…. High of 10 below today, real winter! The clipper that moved in late Saturday afternoon shut the playgrounds off for a while. Wind chills in the -30/40 degree range make being outdoors somewhat dangerous right now – though some anglers have gone out. Crappies: Good-Fair. See a...

1/21/2013 12:45:00 PMBy Darrell Pendergrass On at least three or four occasions this winter I’ve found myself out on the ice staring at hard-water holes, the goal of which was to bring home a fish. That is to say, I’ve done a bit of ice-fishing this season. Normally my winter days aren’t spent fishing. Between farm chores – which only seem to ...

1/15/2013 1:05:00 PMThe rain last week knocked out all remaining snow on the local lakes, and with cold temperatures now and forecasted for the next several days, we are really going to make some solid ice. Take caution if you are going to be driving full sized vehicles on the lakes. You never know when you are going to run into a thin spot on the ice, and no fish is...

1/14/2013 4:40:00 PMAnglers have seen mixed results this past week. Many of the lakes in our area are safe to travel and many have vehicle traffic. We could use some snow to make foot travel easier as the bare ice is quite slick. The cold temps predicted for this week will make good ice. The walleye bite was at last lite this past week. Tip ups with med shiners just ...

1/14/2013 11:15:00 AMIt's always a great sight to be able to drive by local lakes and see the small "villages" taking place on the ice. Several more ice shacks made it out on a variety of lakes over the weekend, but I still would say, keep all full sized vehicles off of the lake and stick with ATV's and Snowmobiles for travel on all ice. One just never knows where th...

1/10/2013 2:35:00 PMSolid ice on area lakes is making for great fishing for all species. The walleye bite has been very good this past week with nice catches of fish coming from local backwater areas in 4 to 7 feet of water. Most of the walleyes are coming on tip-ups baited with golden shiners early and late in the day. A nice pail full of crappies and...

1/9/2013 10:25:00 AMIt’s definitely been an ice fisherman’s winter so far in the Northwoods. Very little snow and pretty good ice has made access to most lakes not bad. There is still room for caution on the large lakes with ice thickness varying from 3-10”. Most lakes averaging 7-9”. Walleye: Good to Very good. Bright sunny days b...

1/8/2013 2:20:00 PMThe January thaw is creeping into Wisconsin. That means the ice you think is thick and strong may be thin and weak. See this story from WEAU about a close call recently faced by a family of four on thin ice. Make sure you note Recreational Safety Warden Bill Yearman's tips. Stay safe. Check out our thin ice report at DNR to anglers: Beware of trick...

1/8/2013 1:50:00 PMBy John Luthens When you reach the Apostle Islands National Lake Shore, at the tip of the Bayfield County Peninsula, it is physically impossible to get any further north on the mainland of Wisconsin. One would have to venture into the frigid and harrowing expanses of Lake Superior to do any better. Once in the lake, maybe from one of the so...
