Ashland Area Fishing Report 7-26-2013
Fishing Guide Roger LaPenter from Anglers All, (715)-682-5754, http://www.anglersallwisconsin.com Reports: Roger at Anglers All Reports: The fishing continues to be awesome on both the big blue Lake Superior and the Inland Lakes. The Big Lake continues to be good. Bass fishing has been great on flies. A lot of good fishing has been done at Sand Cut, Oak Point and Brush Point areas. Trolling for Trout and Salmon has been excellent in the Shallows and Deep Water. Start early in the morning on the first drops then working to deeper water as the sun gets higher in the sky. Most Anglers are using stickbaits, spoons, bait flies and spin-n-glows. There has been a good deal of Northern activity along the Ashland Shoreline. Anglers are having good luck on the Inlands with Bass, Northern and Pan Fish all biting. The Bass and Pan Fish are in the shallows and are very, very active. Anglers are having good luck fishing for Smallies in the deeper water near the tip of Long Island and the Rock Pile!
Fishing Guide Nate Baron from River Rock Inn and Bait Shop, 715-682-3232 http://riverrockinn.net Reports: The recent cold fronts & cooler evenings has slowed fishing down somewhat, but expect it to improve as it becomes stable. Walleyes are being caught on the deeper edges of the weed beds at the head of the bay in the evenings.
Limits of Whitefish and an occasional trout are being caught off of the Washburn shoreline vertical jigging spoons in 30-50 FOW.
Smallmouth bass fishing has been good this past week with most anglers now finding them out in the deeper weedbeds.
Lake trout and Salmon fishing has been really good this past week. Near shore trolling along the Islands in 25-50 FOW with downriggers and spoons is still producing some great fishing. Outer Island, Cat Island and the out lying reefs are all producing some large Lakers on downriggers with Flashers, Spin and glows, Howie Flies and Spoons in 100-175 FOW.
Musky activity on the area's Inland Lakes has slowed down some with recent cold fronts and cooler temperatures. Topwater baits at dawn and dusk have been producing some fish, along with casting bucktails and Jerkbaits adjacent to the deeper weed edges during the day.
Good luck fishing and tight lines to all!
