    Not much to report!  Unusual amounts of mid-April snow and high winds have kept anglers off the lakes.  Access is tough right now as the snow depth makes getting around very difficult.   Crappie:  Bad-Poor! – No recent reports over the last five days, though a few anglers heading out as of this writing. Concentrate on ba...

    It looks like Mother Nature just doesn’t want to let spring get here.  Recent heavy snowfalls combined with record low temperatures have really set the fishing back.  A lot of lakes in Central and Northern Wisconsin still have over 2 feet of good ice.  Now this doesn’t mean that guys aren’t finding and getting out o...

    Winter just is not ready to say goodbye to the Northwoods this year.   About 10 inches of snow fell over the weekend and they are predicting another 6-9 over the next couple of days.  There hasn’t been much fluctuation in temperatures so we are not seeing much change in the fishing patterns from last week. Yellow Perch:&...

    Because the hearty citizens of Wisconsin don’t let winter slow them down, their cars, trucks, and SUVs need a good spring cleaning. After months of snow, wind, and inclement weather, dirt and debris have worked their way into every nook and cranny. Salt spray accumulates on the way home from a successful day of ice fishing, and ca...

    Snow covers my front lawn but as I look outside I see a pink flamingo poking up out of the snow. It is time to go fishing.Before anyone thinks I have been ingesting weird chemicals or have gone completely wacky with the long winter and piles of snow around my house, let me explain. Some years back I became enthralled with those plastic pink flaming...

    Great weather and improving conditions on the ice led to lots of angler participation over the weekend.   Crappie:  Very Good – The warm weather helped with the functioning tip-down bite.  Oddly, some reports on Crappies in 22-25’, some in 13-18’ and others up as shallow as 7-10’.  Rosies and small minn...

      Fantastic weather this past week has led to some outstanding fishing.  Anglers have been getting out on both open water and ice fishing and doing well in both situations.  Ice conditions remain favorable on most lakes, and areas below the dams on the Wisconsin River have been open with good access for fishing. With game-fish cl...
