1/4/2013 5:00:00 PMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice Winter has finally arrived and has been good to us here in the Northwoods. Not much snow and enough cold to build ice.

1/4/2013 11:20:00 AMBy Wayne Morgenthaler The ice on the backwaters of the Wisconsin River is about 4 to 6 inches thick. It is a little tricky getting on lakes that have not yet been fished. You need to watch out for springs along the shoreline. Another place to avoid is getting to close to Beaver Lodges. The best advice is to follow where oth...

1/2/2013 11:20:00 AMBy John Luthens When the killing hand of winter lays its hand on the northern woods, there are those who fly south to warmer climates; snowbirds, I think they are called. Call me crazy, but I’ll take the cold. I’ll take the logging trails and the snow draped pines, and I’ll take the deer paths that lead into the slas...

12/31/2012 11:55:00 AMWith good ice on many northern lakes anglers are getting out and having great success. While a lot of the attention is being focused on panfish, don't rule out early season walleyes and northern pike as they can provide excellent action at this time of the year. They both put up a hefty battle through the ice and they make for great table far...

12/27/2012 4:50:00 PMBy: Joel “Doc” Kunz Private party panfish Although far from being an avid ice fisherman, there are a few nearly unavoidable enticements that get me strapping on the creepers and preparing for a little ice action. Those are: perch and walleye on the Wolf River system and my favorite meal of fresh fish, bluegills, from anywhere. That&rs...

12/27/2012 11:05:00 AMWalleye anglers have had mix success lately. Anglers fishing during the low light period around dusk have seen action but the fish have run on the small size. Some anglers have experienced a random bite throughout the daylight hours but no extended walleye activity. I was able to catch this 10-pounder during a mid-morning bite using medium size mi...

12/26/2012 4:45:00 PMBy Professional Guide John Carlson With the last couple of below 0 zero nights the ice is pushing 5 to 8 inches in most places. The walleye bite has been good in the early morning and then again after dark. Shallow flats close to wood or weeds have been the favorite areas for fishermen to target them. Golden Shiners or Suckers on a number #8 trebl...

12/21/2012 11:00:00 AMHeavy snow is good for late season archery hunters but it may hamper ice fishing. The recent snow to hit Central Wisconsin is a bonus for late season archery hunters as it will force deer to tighter areas and make them easier to target around food sources. Find any remaining crop fields or food plots as well as new cut timber and set up a st...

12/20/2012 5:05:00 PMBy Darrell Pendergrass The problem with warm weather at any point in the winter is that immediately my thoughts turn to the Brule River and fishing for steelhead trout, which is strictly not a winter sport. Not for me. I guess it’s the smell of spring that comes with the warm temperatures that does it. It’s the feel of April. It...

The colder air expected this week should tighten things up but anglers should proceed with extreme caution and check ice thickness frequently with an ice spud.
