    The cold weather has subsided for a while and ice fishing is getting into full swing.  Reports are that there is about 4 to 8 inches of ice on most of the Wisconsin backwaters.  The pan fish have been biting with early morning or late afternoon being the prime time.  The fish have been at all depths, so use two rods rigged for a foot...

    January 9, 2017 Steve Suman Snow continues to fall in the North Woods, though not in huge quantities. Still, accumulations will build if colder temperatures hold – more is on the way mid-week – but the forecast is for mid-20s on Sunday. “The ice is not yet safe enough for vehicles,” says Pat at Happy Hooker, “but pe...

    Severe cold kept all but the hardiest (most foolish?) of anglers off the ice this past week.  Nighttime lows in the minus teens to twenties hurt participation for now.  Building ice though will help anglers from here on out.Along with the cold, high pressure hung over the area, compounding what was already tough fishing conditions.Yellow ...

    By John Luthens Native Americans burned ceremonial fires, dancing in forgotten places to dispel the past and welcome in the future. Many of Finnish descent prefer to sit in a wood burning smoke sauna, sweating the demons out and letting them curl into the wind. Call it superstition, call it mumbo jumbo, but I have come to believe there are healing...

    As I begin the first report of 2017 let me wish everyone a Happy New Year. Our 2017 ice fishing season has started off just like many fireworks, with a boom.  Walleye fishing is off the grid followed by great crappie, perch, bluegill, and pike fishing.  Ice conditions across central Wisconsin are getting better by the day. Most area lake...

    Ice conditions in central Wisconsin are about as perfect as one could want.  Contrary to popular belief the rain last weekend did more good for ice fishing than bad. The rain knocked down the snow and slush on top of the ice allowing it to freeze solidly the following couple of days.  We now have an average of 4 to 8 inches of good solid ...

    During the 1950’s and 1960’s in Franklin, Wisconsin, growing up next to a river, made this young boy’s life just a whole lot better. Today, by definition, technically, it should be labeled a stream. The other boys in the neighborhood and I never called it a river or a stream. To us, it was the creek.  Now, that word might loo...

    December 19, 2016 Steve Suman  This week’s forecast mentions snow on a few days – as well as chances for a winter storm that could affect Christmas weekend – but the temperatures should be MUCH milder than in the past week (so they say), though with strong winds.

    Ice fishing season is here. With the recent cold snap area lakes and backwater locations off the river system have been forming ice.  A lot of locations have anywhere from 3 to 5 inches of good ice with some snow cover for good traction and walking.  We have been out catching walleyes, pike and panfish. The walleye bite has primarily b...
