                Fishing overall on Delavan remains very consistent.  There are many anglers trying to test their talents on the wary fish.  The last week, the boat launch has been the busiest I’ve seen it all year.  There is no good time to go to avoid the traffic so patience i...

    Over the last few weeks, fishing has been very good and continues to be good due to the warm weather.  Almost all of the species that swim in the waters of Lake Geneva are accessible for the taking. Northern Pike fishing has moved to the thermocline.  The thermocline is at approximately 30-35 ft.  Chubs fished on a lindy rig produce...

    By John Luthens It’s the lazy depths of Wisconsin summer. Dogs lolling in the shade, birds perched silent in canopied fortresses of green. Humidity presses deep and heavy as an ocean of glass and the clouds in the sky are billowed high and stranded like sailboats awaiting a breath of wind. Basking in the silent sights, I drive towards the e...

    Fishing continues to be excellent. Northern Pike can be caught on the deep weed lines.  The best approach is lindy rigging small suckers or chubs, in a depth range of 20-24 feet.  Other approaches that have had success, include trolling large deep diving crank baits or spoon plugs on the outside of the weed lines.  The best trolling ...

    Fishing on Delavan Lake continues to be very good.  The only downfall has been the tremendous fishing pressure and boat traffic.  Some mornings when I launch at 5:00 am, I’m about the 50th boat on the lake.  With the excessive fishing pressure it is not hard to tell where the good spots on the lake are, just look for the boats....
