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...

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.

That approach allows W...

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 5:20:00 PMBy Jordan Marsh Ice fishing season is in full swing now as we are making ice every day and night with the cold temperatures and lack of snow on top of the ice. With forecasted highs not to get above freezing for the next week, we will see more and more ice shacks starting to fill the lakes in the local area. Ice depth levels are fluctuating...

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...
