    Steve Suman   If the Autumnal Equinox this past Thursday and the Hayward Fall Festival this past Saturday did not tip off that fall season is upon us, perhaps frost early this week will do the trick! Highs and lows return to nearly the annual average in the days following, however, and fall activities continue!   &...

    Steve Suman A warm, 80-degree Tuesday to start the week quickly changes direction to a cooler 63-degree high Wednesday, “chances” of frost Wednesday and Thursday nights, and possibly a wet weekend. Foliage colors are changing and Thursday, September 22, is the Autumnal Equinox, the first day of fall ‑ a wonderful time of...

    Steve Suman The forecast predicts beautiful mild and sunny weather for the first half of this week, but possibly switching to rainy from Wednesday night through the weekend.

    Fishing on Delavan has become a bit spotty.  Some days the action is better than others.  For some reason with the strong east wind fishing on Delavan is very tough.                 Walleyes are in the 12-15 ft depth range.  They can be caught on Rapala husky...

    Fishing remains very consistent.  Both panfish and gamefish continue to bite well. .             Largemouth bass are still on the rocky points.  When you find a school, it’s possible to catch 15-20 fish.  They can either be caught drop shotting small 4 inch worms or fishin...

    It’s the calm before the storm.  Labor Day weekend is just about here so be prepared for a great deal of boat traffic on the lake.  It will be much busier than it has been lately.               Smallmouth bass are starting to come off their sporadic summer pattern and sta...

    Steve Suman   This forecast for this week shows mild and sunny, with a warming trend, and chances of rain Friday. Then it is back to sunshine and blue skies heading into Labor Day weekend.

    Steve Suman   If you have waited for a week of perfect weather to pursue outdoor summer activities, this week could very well be the one! The forecast calls for sunshine all week, mid-70s to low 80s highs, and nighttime lows in the 50s. If this is not “the” week, it could very well be as close as it will get. Get out and take adv...

                    Smallmouth bass are in the 20-25 ft depth range off weed points.  The best location has been by the Military Academy or by Fontana.  The best approach has been lindy rigging nightcrawlers or jumbo leeches.  Drop shot anglers are also catching q...

    After the past few weeks of rather slow fishing, the overall bite on Delavan is starting to improve.  Most of the anglers are having success for most species, with the exception being Walleye which are still tough to find.                  Largemouth bass are in t...
