1/15/2016 11:10:00 AMBy Wayne Morgenthaler The ice is a lot safer now with the cold weather. The ice fishing on the backwaters of the Wisconsin River for pan fish has been slow. The bite has been early in the morning and only a couple of feet below the ice. Now that the water temperature is changing the fish should be more towards the bottom. T...

The bite has been very good for all species of panfish as well...

1/12/2016 10:55:00 AMSteve Suman For people who wondered if winter weather would ever arrive this year – it is here! The sub-zero lows forecast for this week, combined with (at this time) no “major” snow events, should build good ice on the lakes and freeze the swamps so snowmobile trail crews can stake the entire system. Conditions should then be ex...

1/12/2016 10:45:00 AMFinally some true cold winter like weather to help make the ice we need to be able to safely venture out. Air temps shot down into the negative degree marks, enough to expect a good inch plus of ice to be made per day over the next five plus days. Once some lakes become safe for vehicle travel by next weekend, dispersing the fishing pressure and a...

Ice thickness varies from lake to lake, however, the places I've been out on had 5 1/2 inches of good ice over this past weekend. Generally walk out access is good in most places, ATV or driving trucks out onto the ice is not ...

12/31/2015 11:55:00 AMIt’s difficult predicting what to expect for ice conditions this week when you can’t rely on weather forecast to be very reliable about snow. That said…… here goes! Christmas Day the wind laid down long enough to put a skim on a lot of lakes. On lakes that already had some fishable ice, things got better as ice thickness ...

12/22/2015 2:35:00 PMThese reports are hard to write when given the conditions we have here. Just enough (3-5”) ice to get out on in some areas, while most lakes remain open. Our one chance of real ice making cold (6 degrees on 12-19) was mixed with just enough wind to keep new ice from forming. Places that did have ice made more, but most lakes don’t have ...

12/21/2015 11:30:00 AMThis past week has seen some drastic changes. We started the week out with just enough ice to allow for some foot travel and then bam it was gone. Warm temperatures and rain quickly diminished any future hopes of getting out ice fishing. With that happening I decided to pull the boat out of storage and head back out on the river. Wow wh...

12/15/2015 7:55:00 PMTwo days in a row of rain has just about melted out most fishable ice. Another shot of rain / snow on Wed. should do in any thoughts of being on the ice till lateThursday. By then, lows in the teens, followed by highs in the teens Friday, should give us some new ice to work with. Due to present conditions, keep an eye on our shop web sit...

12/10/2015 10:30:00 AMMother Nature is not being kind to us ice anglers. She’s being a big tease. Some small lakes and bays have just enough ice (3-4”) to lure a few adventurous anglers out. Other lakes, due to highs in the upper 30’s to 40 degrees have become just iffy enough to keep anglers off. Several large / deep lakes are still open. Yellow Perc...

12/3/2015 10:40:00 AMFinally enough cold to give ice anglers a preview of the coming ice fishing season. Not sure how long this will last, not a lot of real cold in the forecast, but for now most lakes are ice covered and some fishable with measurements of 3-4” available. Early reports of good Walleye and Crappie fishing from anglers able / willing to go out and...

11/27/2015 1:20:00 PMIts gun deer season, so little going on over the water, but a few diehards still venturing out. Muskie: Good. Fewer anglers and a little less action, but fish still being caught – mostly on suckers. Last day to fish Musky is Nov 30th, so some time left. Crappies: Good. Gets the nod over Walleyes as good numbers and big fish (14 plus inches)...
