Fishing has been really good. We’re going through a lot of crappie minnows and leeches. Smaller size Mepps and Panther Martin for the trout. Larger sucker minnows for the Northern.
Guy was in with a Bass from Spooner Lake caught on a weed less worm. Most fish in shallower water as the water temps are pretty cold yet. Coffee's on at 6:00 AM every day!
