    Wow, how things can turn around in a weeks’ time.  The fishing has exploded this past week with limit catches of nice walleyes and bass, along with some super crappie and pike fishing.

    Fishing across the state continues to be very consistent with a lot of anglers now targeting walleyes on the rivers. Most of the action is coming on jig and minnow combinations with a few fish being caught on crankbaits.  A few die-hard ice anglers are still getting out pursuing panfish on area lakes, but I advise using extreme caution when he...
