    Well I wasn’t sure we would have much to write about his week but Mother Nature took a turn and gave us a present.  Cold weather, and it looks like we are going to have safe fishable ice by this weekend.   With many area lakes now freezing over anglers should be able to get out on some of their favorite early ice hot-spots and ...

    12/8/16 - Reported by Stone Lake Bait & Tackle The Stone Lake area lakes are cooperating nicely with the forecast although there's not enough ice to venture out yet in my opinion.

    Steve Suman  Now that the weather and temperatures have become more “seasonal” for this time of year, a consistent pattern is developing much as we experienced this summer.
