    Finally enough cold to give ice anglers a preview of the coming ice fishing season. Not sure how long this will last, not a lot of real cold in the forecast, but for now most lakes are ice covered and some fishable with measurements of 3-4” available. Early reports of good Walleye and Crappie fishing from anglers able / willing to go out and...

    Steve Suman This week is starting out with snow and cold Monday through Tuesday, but the forecast promises sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 30s through next weekend. The weather is not typical for this time of year -- which thrills some and disappoints others. “Ice is forming fast now,” says guide Steve Genson at Hayward Bait, &...

    Steve Suman Deer hunters who differ on their favorite hunting weather should all be happy at least one day this week, as the forecast includes clear, cloudy, cold, calm, wind, mild, rain, and snow at various points throughout the week!

    Its gun deer season, so little going on over the water, but a few diehards still venturing out. Muskie: Good. Fewer anglers and a little less action, but fish still being caught – mostly on suckers. Last day to fish Musky is Nov 30th, so some time left. Crappies: Good. Gets the nod over Walleyes as good numbers and big fish (14 plus inches)...

    Windy weather and almost steady rain has kept us from fishing and hunting as much as we would have liked to this past week, but we did manage to get out and enjoy some time both in the woods and on the water.  Water temperatures are in the low 40’s but with the forecasted weekend temperatures dipping down into the low teens, don’...

    Steve Suman The forecast for this week leading into the opening of gun deer season shows mild temperatures and some precipitation through Wednesday. Then ... the temperatures take a major drop from highs in the 50s to highs in the low 30s, with chances for snow showers Thursday and Friday. Looks to be clear and sunny for opening weekend, however! ...

    By Wayne Morgenthaler Water temperatures are dropping fast but so far no snow yet.  If you are fishing the backwaters, fishing is slow right now.  Cloudy days with little wind are preferred and live bait is the best.  If you are fishing for pan fish use wax worms on a small ice fishing jig with a bobber set at about a foot from the ...

    With the 2015 gun deer season only a week away most fishermen have put their boats and gear away for the season and are now preparing to take the woods.  But with that said there is still plenty of great fishing going on right now in the central Wisconsin area. Deer hunters are anxiously waiting for next weekend to arrive with over 600,000 pe...

    11/11/15-Reported by Jim Stroede Guide Service Muskie fishing remains strong in Washburn County. We are still catching good numbers of nice fish. Most of our action is coming on live suckers with quick strike rigs in 10 to 20 feet of water.  I've been hearing of nice crappie fishing on area waters but haven't had the opportunity to chec...

    Sometimes even fly fishers have to use other tactics Occasionally, how and when we fly fish is negatively influenced by the weather. That means if a fly fisherman like myself really wants to fish, he has to revert to other methods. A prime example is this past August. I was at our cottage in northeastern Wisconsin. It was after supper and the win...

    Unseasonably mild weather for the first third of November has kept plenty of fishing opportunities open, but few anglers out to enjoy it. Musky: Good. While suckers on quick set rigs accounting for over half the action, gliders and jerk baits as well as slow moving rubber baits also producing. Walleye: Good. Most over deep water humps and transit...

    John Luthens The eight-point buck charged from the darkened field. I shot a quick glance up at the digital clock. It blinked 4:52 a.m. The temperature readout next to the overhead clock said 34 degrees, and when I looked back down I was close enough to see frost tingeing the field grass and envision steam rolling from the brute’s nostrils. I...

    Warm temperatures are sticking around this fall encouraging outdoor participation.  With that said the fishing and hunting continue to be hot.  Fishing remains very good with musky and walleyes taking the center stage.  Most of the action has come from deeper water in the 8 to 12 foot range with some fish holding even deeper. The ...

    Big saugers like the one Mike Yurk is holding are too big to keep but they are fun to catch. Mike Yurk bassinmajor@yahoo.com The fish slammed my bait. It hit hard enough I probably didn’t need to set the hook but I did anyway out of instinct. My spinning rod was doubled over as the fish took off.  “I’m going to need the n...
