    Retired WDNR Fish Manager Roger Kerr of Boscobel I moved to Boscobel in 1972 to become the fish manager for Grant, Lafayette and Richland counties. Trout fishing was very popular in these counties then (and in all of southwest Wisconsin) but the trout fishery was 98% dependent on stocking and trout were actually scarce in most streams. Also, there...

    The main lakes water temperature is still hovering around 49 degrees.  Unfortunately fishing on Lake Geneva is tough but should be improving if we get some nice weather that sticks around for a while. The bass have not yet begun to spawn.  This bite is very predictable once the water starts to warm.  With the very cold water, the fi...

    The weather continues to cause fishermen trouble. This past week it was cold and the very high winds that made fishing difficult.  Overall, the fishing has been pretty good considering Mother Nature’s challenges.  With a few warm days, the fish should really turn on.  However, the forecast is for continued cool temperatures.&nb...

    May 10, 2021 Steve Suman   This should be a mild and sunny week until... the weekend, when chances for rain make an appearance. Otherwise, look for sunshine, highs in the mid to upper 60s, and nighttime lows from the upper 20s to low 40s. Nice ‑ take advantage and get outdoors!   “This is such a fun time of year,” says Pa...

    Unfortunately, just because May 1rd is almost here doesn’t mean that fishing season is in its prime on the big water.    Being the largest and deepest lake in the county does have its disadvantages especially in early May.  The water is still really cold and the fish are not very active.  Most of the smallmouth bass a...
