Minocqua area fishing report
It has been strung out for weeks now, but, the ice fishing season in the Lakeland area should be over by this weekend. With the south end of Big Arbor Vitae Lake and the east end of Lake Tomahawk still holding on to barely safe ice (thanks to overnight lows in the single digits). The forecast for this weekend with a six day stretch of mid 60’s to low 70’s should seal it.
High winds kept most anglers off the ice this past weekend. The few that tried had marginal success on crappies.
Flowages are rising as well as some lakes controlled by dams.
There won’t be much to report for the next few weeks. Looking forward to the opener of game fish season on May 7.
