    December 11, 2023 Hayward Lakes Area Outdoor Report Steve Suman   The current forecast says this week starts with “cool” highs in the mid-20s, warming to the low 40s toward the end of the week. There are a few chances of precipitation Tuesday and Friday, but otherwise mostly sunny and windy. For comparison, the long-term avera...

    Steve Suman   As predicted (surprise!), the temperatures changed significantly this past week, with lows in the teens and a Monday night low of 4 degrees. However, this week will bring some highs in the mid- to even upper-30s, though the downward slide continues as winter arrives. Currently, the forecast indicates the only snow chances are S...

    Steve Suman Take advantage of the somewhat moderate temperatures through Wednesday’s 42-degree high and 20-degree low, as a significant change is coming to the North Woods this week. The forecast for Thanksgiving Day Thursday shows a high of 29 degrees and a low of 11 degrees. Temperatures then bump up a bit, but not by much! Have a safe an...

    Steve Suman   This week looks to be wet and windy, with highs in the upper 30s/low 40s, and nighttime lows in the upper 20s/low 30s. Expect various forms of precipitation, but nothing out of the ordinary. All in due time, of course! Enjoy the outdoors, whatever the weather, but more so now! This Saturday, November 11, is Veterans Day. ...
  • 11/1/2023 9:45:00 AM
    Steve Suman   The forecast calls for up to two inches of snow Monday night into Tuesday morning, with highs in the low 30s. Late in the week, highs rise to the mid-40s. Fall in the North Wood can be many things, but it is never boring!   “Late fall weather has arrived in the Quiet Lakes’ area,” says Greg at...

     Steve Suman   Monday started a bit wet, but then turned into a beautiful mild and sunny day... for a while. The forecast for this week is for mild temperatures, highs mostly in the mid to upper 50s, though with rain chances from now through the weekend. Thursday shows a start of cooling temperatures and Saturday mentions the “s&r...

    Steve Suman   The forecast for this week and beyond predicts somewhat steady weather, breezy, with highs in the 50-degree range, lows mostly in the 30s, no shortage of cloudy days, and a few showers. So they say... at this time. Rain chances for this week are toward the tail end and into the weekend‑ but it is still a bea...

    With the cooling temperatures, the fish have been aggressively biting.  The best bite on the lake has been the smallmouth bass and the yellow perch.             Smallmouth bass can be caught lindy rigging in 22-28 ft of water off the main lake points.  I’ve been catching most o...

                Walleye pike can be caught trolling deep diving crank baits or jigging in 35 ft of water.  You want to be just outside the main lake points when trolling.  I troll between 16 and 22 ft of water.  The early morning hours are the best.  You want a fire tiger or pea...

    Walleye fishing has started to improve.  They are positioned in the 12-15 ft depth range on the weedline.  The best lures are the chrome/blue and chrome/black jerk baits.  Look for the fish around the main lake points like the Village Supper Club and Willow Point.  You can catch some fish on live bait by lindy rigging nightcrawl...

    Largemouth bass fishing has been up and down.  There are some days that you can get them really good and then the next day in the same spot, they vanish.  It appears that the key to the bite is some wind.  When the lake is dead calm, they have a tendency not to bite.  The best location has been by Trinkes or by Linn Pier.  ...

    Steve Suman Monday and Tuesday offer less than stellar weather, but Tuesday night through Thursday look good in the current forecast. From then into next Monday, it is a toss-up (though seriously, is that not always the case?) High temperatures should be in the 60s-70s, with a chance of frost Wednesday morning. Fall weather has arrived, ...

    Steve Suman Labor Day Monday was a “hot time in the old town tonight” (94 degrees) for all, though a dry, breezy, and pleasant day overall. Tuesday looks like more of the same, but with a good chance of late afternoon and evening thunderstorms, some possibly severe. High temperatures drop significantly Wednesday (68) with rain, and Thu...

    Largemouth bass have been caught in the 14-16 ft depth range.  The best location has been by Elgin Club and in Geneva Bay.  Drop shot fishermen have been having the most success.  They’ve been using 4 inch finesse worms or black and white Sassy Shads.  Most of the time in late August, the majority of the fish are in 20-25 ...

    Steve Suman   Forecasters predict the week begins with a bit of rough weather, clears to warm/hot for a couple days, turns to a cooling trend, and mostly sunshine through the weekend. That’s their story and they’re (probably not) sticking to it! Enjoy these summer days ‑ we are less than two weeks from the start of September! &n...

  • 8/15/2023 3:05:00 PM
    Largemouth bass can be caught either flipping the piers or Carolina rigging on the deep weedlines.  The best approach for flipping the piers, is a black and blue jig tipped with a craw.  For the deep weedline fish, try a green pumpkin lizard.  The best depth for the deep fish is 20-26 ft of water.  The key to success is a hard b...

                    Smallmouth bass are actively feeding in 21-28 ft of water off the main lake points.  Look for hard bottom and scattered weeds.  They are aggressively hitting nightcrawlers and small yellow perch caught in Lake Geneva.  Some of the fish I caught...
