    Times are changing and with the crazy weather patterns that we are seeing this spring it’s anyone’s guess to what we are going to receive over the next few weeks.  Water temperatures have plummeted with the recent cold snap and created a frenzy among anglers looking for active fish.  We had water temperatures that were at 45 d...

    April 4, 2016 Steve Suman Judging from forecasts today, it appears to be another week or so of “early spring” (i.e., late winter) weather and then a return to more moderate, comfortable temperatures. Maybe mild enough to store some winter-wear... just don’t put them in the back of the closet! “Mother Nature continues to p...

    Despite cold temps (18 degrees this morning when I opened), lakes that opened up to some extent are NOT safe to access.  Reports in our area show only the south end of Big Arbor Vitae having enough ice (aprox 8") to fish and even that should be approached with extreme caution! Crappies:  Good.  When conditions allow.  Slo...

    Well it’s been another great week for outdoor activities in Central Wisconsin.  The spring walleye bite has picked up on the Wisconsin River and we are also catching a few catfish and perch.  We went over and targeted some of the Green Bay walleyes this past week with very good success, and we started doing some of our pre-season tu...

    Steve Suman Wind and rain chances (should they prevail, and yes, the forecast includes snow) will help remove some of the ice this week, though it will end with a return to low temperatures below 20 degrees. Though we are officially more than a week into spring, it might take a bit of time before spring becomes full reality in the North Woods! &l...

    Open water fishing is off to a great start here in Central Wisconsin.  Water temperatures are in the upper 30’s to lower 40 degree range and the water levels are perfect for the spring walleye run to begin.  Turkey hunters are getting anxious with the spring season is only a few weeks, away and with near perfect conditions it should...

    We’re kind of stuck in between seasons here in the Phillips Wisconsin area right now with the ice on area lakes not being safe for foot travel but still too much ice for safe boat travel. Most of the area flowages have vast areas of open water on them with the Phillips Chain being about 50% open. Rivers are still very high after last ...

    We have more and better ice today (3/22) than last Friday (3/18).  Anyone surprised?  Nights in the teens and not very warm days actually firmed up the ice and made a little.  Not everywhere is safe, a few lakes have had shoreline ice pull away enough to prohibit access.  There are still plenty of other options throughout the ar...

    Steve Suman The weather forecast last week listed rain chances nearly every day.

    March madness it is, and not just in basketball.  Here in central Wisconsin we have dramatically changed gears and everything has gone topsy-turvy.  The recent heavy downpours have completely diminished the ice and opened up area lakes.  The drastic amount of rain has charged rivers to flood levels only seen 4 times in the last 100 y...

    MILWAUKEE, Wis. - Lake Michigan anglers increased their efforts and reeled in greater numbers of native species including lake trout and walleye in 2015, even as the overall sport fish harvest declined due to lower catches of salmon and stocked trout.   Results from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' 2015 survey of angler...
