    http://dnr.wi.gov/news/releases/article/?id=3981      MADISON, Wis. - Rising water levels and bluff failures along Wisconsin's Lake Michigan shoreline are creating a serious threat to private property and public utilities in a number of communities. Among the hardest hit areas is the village of Mount Pleasant in Racine County...

    Steve Suman This week’s forecast shows cool temperatures (frost possible Tuesday night in some areas!) early in the week and “chances for showers” nearly every day. It also says mostly sunny for many of those same days. (Really?) Temperatures turn much warmer toward the end of this week and weekend. “Check the re...

    Delavan has been overall very good.  The only bite not really available yet is the northern pike.  There are loads of bluegills and perch in the shallows currently and they are heavily feeding.  Bluegill action has been great in 3-4 ft of water.  The fish are now spawning so be selective in harvesting the catch, avoid keeping t...

    Early June starting out a bit wet and windy. Water temps have settled into the mid 60’s and many species have settles into their late spring patterns. Walleye: Very Good. The cloud cover has benefitted day time walleye anglers. Casting diving cranks (ShadRaps, Flicker Shads, and Smash Shads) over and through cabbage beds of 8-12’ has p...

    Lake Geneva fishing is starting to pick up with the warming waters.  The smallmouth bass have almost completed their spawn and remain near their spawning flats.  Next to spawn will be the largemouth bass which will happen in the next week or so.  Smallmouth bass are near their spawning flats such as Elgin Club, South Shore Club and ...

    By John Luthens My partner Tom Nigl and I staked out the bluegill ambush for weeks in advance. We traced the scene of the crime into a back bay of Lake Winnebago, just outside of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to a place where a fallen willow tree had folded into the water over a sloping shoal. We made a vow that nothing would sneak into those sunken branch...

    The 2016 northern Wisconsin musky opener started out with a bang.  If I could have written up a recipe for success I couldn’t have done much better than what actually happened.  My two clients for the opener were Nap and Mike Pozulp who have been fishing with me for the opener for 15 years now, and at the end of this trip they bo...

    Constantly changing weather in the last week has made for some challenging fishing conditions for most anglers across the Northwoods. Water temperatures seem to be holding in the mid-60’s on most lakes and this has extended the spawning activity for a lot of crappie, largemouth and smallmouth bass.  This has also gotten a few blue...

    A soggy Memorial weekend put a damper on what could have been a great opener, but, despite the forecast (and unfortunate reality), anglers who dodged the rain in many cases faired pretty well. Northern Pike:  Very good.  Many being caught by anglers targeting other species (bass, walleye and musky).  Big chubs and suckers of 5-7&rdq...

    Price County Fishing Report The bluegill bite continues to be strong and I think it will go good right into the weekend on some area lakes. My clients and I have been taking advantage of this hot bite and selective harvesting some nice 10 fish limits, we must really be careful on how many of these fish we harvest at this time of year because they ...

    Overall the action on Lake Geneva has been hit or miss.  I haven’t had success catching the smallmouth bass near their spawning flats yet.  The best action has been the bluegills and largemouth bass.  Remember that during spawning season, the future of our lakes depend on catch and release. Largemouth bass has been best in Gen...

    May 30, 2016 Steve Suman This spring seems filled with “chances for rain,” but is that unusual? The forecast for this week lists mild temperatures and varied chances for thunderstorms.

    Fishing on Delavan Lake has been very good overall, with largemouth bass and bluegills being both active and readily available.  Remember during spawning season, the future of our lakes depends on catch and release. Bluegills are in 3-5 ft of water in the sand pockets of the weeds.  They are not spawning yet but they are getting ready.&n...

    By John Luthens A glow spread from a hidden horizon in the southwestern heart of Wisconsin’s driftless area. Unlike the ice-age glaciers, which never penetrated this bluff-swept region, the waxing moon finally crested over the ridge and tracked us into our hollow. The trout stream in the thickets behind our camp turned silver in the moonligh...

    5/24/16- Reported by Jim Stroede Guide Service Fishing this week around Washburn County has been a mixed bag of sorts.  Crappies are shallow for spawning and are bitting on a variety of soft plastics in 1-4 feet of water. Smallmouth Bass likewise are in the spawning mode. We've caught and released some nice ones the past f...
