Ashland Area Fishing Report

~ Fishing Guide Roger LaPenter from Anglers All, (715)-682-5754, http://www.anglersallwisconsin.com Reports: The fishing continues to be good on both the big blue Lake Superior and the Inland Lakes. Bass are biting in deeper water on Sucker Minnows during daytime hours. Early morning and late afternoon into the evening. Walleye Anglers are doing well drifting Crawler Harnesses and Stickbaits over the weedbeds. Activity has been best early in the morning and in the evening. Trolling has been crazy good!!!! Trout and Salmon fishing has been great with the best catches in 20 to 30 feet of Water from Washburn to Houghton Point, out to the Sioux and Onion and over to Long Island... Best fishing has been during low light hours. Trout and Salmon have been caught at the head of the Bay, off the mouth of Fish Creek. There have been good reports on trout and Coho’s and Browns. There have also been reports of a good White Fish Bite going on! Trolling for Lake Trout has also been super!!!

~ Fishing Guide Nate Baron from Up North Guide Service and Fishing Guide Scott Bretting from River Rock Inn and Bait Shop, 715-682-3232 http://riverrockinn.net Reports:
Lake Trout fishing has been fair this past week. Anglers trolling the flats have been picking up mostly smaller fish in the 15-17" range. Lake Trout season is open through Sept. 30 and closes for a couple of months. Lake trout fishing pressure is at a minimum now as Anglers start focusing on near shore trolling.

Coho Salmon, Brown Trout and King Salmon are now staging outside of the River and Creek mouths as they prepare for the annual run up streams to spawn. Anglers have been having excellent success this past week trolling Stickbaits and Shad Raps off of Houghton Point and in front of the Sioux and Onion River. Shore fisherman at the mouths of Rivers and Streams have also been picking up some nice Browns and Cohos casting Spoons, Mepps Spinners and Stickbaits.

Smallmouth fishing has been good on Chequamegon Bay this past week. Fishing the deeper weedbeds in 14-24 FOW with Crankbaits, Tube jigs, Football jigs and live sucker rigs have been the most productive.

Whitefish are still being caught off of the Washburn shoreline vertical jigging in 30-50 FOW.

Musky fishing on Inland Lakes has been fair with a lot of fisherman starting to drag large Suckers. Crappie fishing has been excellent on the areas Inland Lakes with fishermen focusing on the edge of mid Lake structures using jig and minnows in 20-25 FOW. Good luck fishing and tight lines to all !
