Washburn County Fishing & Outdoor Report/Trail Conditions
Fishing Report 5/16/18- Reported by Jim Stroede Guide Service
Crappie fishing is just beginning to pick up as a good number of fish are starting to move into the shallows now. We had a nice morning the other day boating lots of nice crappies and also a few big bluegills. The crappies seemed to like the small jig and plastic baits that we were throwing. Water temperatures in Washburn County are in the mid 50's currently. Good luck and good fishing!
