                    Fishing continues to be excellent.  With the tremendous fishing the boat traffic and fishing pressure have been outrageous.  Most weekend days on the lake there are between 75-100 boats.  Most people, however, are catching fish.   &n...

    Steve Suman This week’s forecast predicts ‑ again ‑ we will see high temperatures mostly in the mid-70s or so. They predicted the same the past two weeks and highs were mid-80s, so will see how they do this time. Otherwise, rain is possible from Wednesday night through the weekend, but it might be wise if you “pay n...

      Fishing continues to be very good.   Most anglers are having great success pan-fishing.              Perch and bluegill fishing has been the most consistent bite.  The best depth has been anywhere from 15-22 ft.  The only real way to fish them is to anchor and f...

                    Fishing on Lake Geneva continues to be excellent.  I have not seen fishing this good in recent years.  I am consistently getting double digit catches of both smallmouth and largemouth bass.          &nbs...

    Steve Suman Temperatures in the 80s return this week, with the current forecast showing a few days with rain chances of less than 30 percent into the weekend. Overall looks like a very good week for any outdoor recreation you choose! Make good use of each day, as one might consider Tuesday, August 1, as the beginning of the summer wind-down! &nbs...
  • 7/27/2023 10:20:00 AM
    Steve Suman The forecast calls for high temperatures in the 90s through mid-week, with rain chances through the weekend. This is warmer than the July and August averages, but a cool-down is on the way. Do not allow the heat to deter you from your outdoor recreational activities. Summer is short ‑ get out and enjoy it!   “The Quie...

      Lake Geneva fishing is really good right now and so is the leisure activity. The boat traffic has been extremely busy.  For the most enjoyable fishing, fish early in the day or at night.  If you are interested in Walleye fishing, this is the best time for both quantity and quality.  Many fish are being taken between 11 pm and...

                    Delavan lake fishing has been fantastic.  The northern and largemouth bite is exceptional.  It has been almost boring at times catching 16-23 inch largemouth bass   I have to remember when fishing is tough how good this time of year is. &...
  • 7/21/2023 8:30:00 AM
                Fishing overall on Delavan remains very consistent.  There are many anglers trying to test their talents on the wary fish.              Yellow Perch have been biting in front of Township Park in 12-14 ft of water. Loc...

    Steve Suman   This week’s forecast predicts a mix of rain, thunderstorms, and sunshine. Currently, sunshine and blue skies Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday offer the best days for outdoor recreation, but many forecasted rains have skirted the Hayward area this summer!   “It was a tough bite for most species on the Quiet La...

    Lake Trout fishing has been good.  They are being caught ½ hour before first light until 6:30 a.m. and again at dusk.  They can be caught on nickel/silver or nickel/green spoons.  Most of the fish are being caught between 75 and 80 ft of water in a total depth of 108-135 ft.  With good electronics, you will be able to see...
  • 7/17/2023 10:05:00 AM
    Steve Suman   The forecast for this week includes moderate summer temperatures and some sunshine, but with chances for rain showers and thunderstorms throughout the week. Go prepared for both, but get out and enjoy the North Woods!   “Temperatures look to stay in the 70s for a while,” says Greg at Happy Hooker. &ldquo...
  • 7/17/2023 10:05:00 AM
                The fish are in their mid summer patterns.  The water temperatures have increased so most of the fish are in the deeper water and aggressively hitting.              Walleye fishing can be good given enough time. ...

                    Lake Geneva continues to be really good fishing but it also continues to be super busy with pleasure boats.  Plan to fish early a.m. or late p.m. for a safer, more productive trip.                 Lake trout conti...

    Steve Suman The forecast calls for rain and thunderstorms through Wednesday, and it appears nature might well provide its own “fireworks” for the July 4 Independence Day celebration, with cooler temperatures following the storms. Have a safe and fun July 4 holiday!   “Rain early last week greened-up everything i...

    Steve Suman   Hot and dry all week, according to the forecast, with high temperatures in the upper 80s and very slight chances for rain until Friday afternoon. However, at this point, the current forecast indicates possible wet weather for the upcoming Musky Festival weekend, Friday through Sunday, June 23-25. That said, with ...

                    Fishing is excellent on Lake Geneva.  There are literally fish to be caught almost anywhere on the lake, which makes it very nice when the winds are strong because you still have choices.  The water temp has finally warmed up to about 70-73 degrees....
  • 6/20/2023 10:35:00 AM
    With the stable weather the fishing has been great.  I’ve been catching anything that swims in the lake this past week.  It’s a great time to take a first-time angler out on the water.                  Northern Pike have finally started to bite on...

                    Fishing on Lake Geneva continues to be pretty good.   The best bite on the lake has been post spawn largemouth bass.  They are in the 8-10 ft range.  Rock bass continue to be the most aggressive bite throughout the whole lake.  They c...

    Steve Suman   Following a cool start, the area should see sunshine and gradually warming temperatures this week, with minimal chances for rain and/or thunderstorms (but chances all the same!) Cool nights for sleeping and warm days for recreating ‑ can it get any better in the North Woods? Enjoy!   “Mosquito activity in the Quiet...
  • 6/6/2023 8:55:00 AM
    Fishing in the shallows remains very good.  Largemouth bass can be caught on two patterns; the shallow post-spawn, 4-5 ft depth or the deep weedline.  The deep weedline has been the slower pattern since the majority of fish don’t seem to have made it out there yet, it will improve daily.  The shallow fish can be caught by Lake ...
  • 6/6/2023 8:55:00 AM
    Fishing is fantastic right now.  Both the largemouth and smallmouth bass are in the shallows and are readily available.  With all the rain we’ve had, it didn’t seem to harm the fishing.             Smallmouth bass are concentrated in two depths.  The spawning fish ar...

    Steve Suman The North Woods’ string of sunny, dry weather might see its end this week. Some rainy days in the forecast, but with high temperatures remaining in the mid-to upper-80s. Enjoy the wonderful summerlike weather, but make sure to have abundant bug repellent available!   “With Quiet Lakes’ water...
