    The dry weather continues, and the good fishing continues as well.  Most of the fish are in their late summer pattern.  The fish are a bit deeper than most people are fishing.  Most of the fish are in 15-20 ft of water.  The boat traffic has been crazy, you want to get to the launch before 6 a.m. and off by 11 a.m.  The lak...

    Water temperatures have shot up this past week and are now in the mid to upper 70 degree range. This recent swing in temperatures has really had an impact on the fishing and it has changed things quite a bit. Our walleye bite has been the most impacted this past week and it has transitioned to a much deeper bite with most of our fish now holding...

    With the temperatures stabilizing this past week we have seen a surge in activity from some really big fish. Not that we haven’t been catching big fish already this year but this past week some real giants have made their way to the boat. If you are into really big fresh water fishing the musky activity has gone through the roof and the bi...

                Fishing remains excellent.  You need to go early to avoid the crowds.  Most days there are between 100-150 fishermen out on the lake.  The fishing has been awesome for bluegills and largemouth bass.             L...

    Fishing remains fantastic on Delavan Lake.  The really good news has been that the boat traffic has been very light.  The fish are on the weedline but have yet to really school very hard.

    Fishing remains very good.  Most of the game fish are very active with the warmer water temp.  The water temps haven’t risen enough to make the fish go deep.  Most of the fish can be found in 15 ft of water or less.  Right now all the fish have completed spawning and are aggressively feeding. Largemouth bass can be caught...

I remember stopping for the night at a nameless inn somewhere in Nebraska. The cornfield terrain was flat as a billiard table, but I slept restlessly and rolled the starchy sheets on the mot...
