3-28-14 Central Wisconsin Outdoor Report

Open water has arrived and anglers are doing well on walleyes below area dams. Jig and minnow combinations are working in deeper water, and crankbaits are working in the shallower areas early and late in the day.

Ice fishing continues to be good with outstanding catches of panfish.   All species are going strong with the best action in the early morning until about 10:00 am and then again from about 3:30 until dark.  Most of the action is associated with weed lines and open pockets in the weeds.  Tear drop jigs with waxies or small minnows have been working the best but some days plastics are working better on the larger fish.

Have a great week,

Phil Schweik
