5/11/2016 12:05:00 PMAs difficult as Lake Geneva is on a typical opening day, the cool spring and cold front that greeted Opening day made Geneva even more difficult. It takes a consistent warming spring and nice sunny days to heat up a body of water the size of Lake Geneva. Fishing stays on the difficult side until the water temps increase. I’ve fou...

5/11/2016 12:05:00 PMDelavan Lake met opening day with a 20 degree cold front. The fishing pressure was lighter than I’ve seen in recent years and the fishing was very tough.

4/13/2016 11:40:00 AMThe 2016 Spring Turkey season is upon us and the birds are gobbling up a storm. The walleye bite on the river has been pretty good but the next few weeks should be some of the best fishing of the season.

4/12/2016 10:40:00 AMOver the last two weeks we have had many changes, cool nights, over four inches of rain and snow along with all the dams opening and closing.
