Fishing report 26 January 2024

Hello from the Northwoods, late report tonight as we are in New Richmond for a hockey tournament this weekend. We still have decent ice as of now, but this week could really screw things up. I am hearing pretty consistent reports of +/- 8″ of ice on most lakes, but I have noticed most of…

Fishing report 19 January 2024

Good evening, sending the report out a little early as we have hockey early tomorrow morning and then I plan on hitting the hard water to chase after some fish!  It appears the cold snap we have had since last weekend finally will end at the beginning of next week.  High temps in the 30s…

Fishing report 13 January 2024

Good morning, another round of snow last night dropped about +/- 3″ of snow.  Hard to tell a total as the wind was howling and created some drifting.  Bitter cold temps will hang around for this week, with most temps in the single digits during the day and below zero at night.  With not a lot of snow…

Fishing report 06 January 2024

Good morning, its beginning to look a lot like……..WINTER! A few inches of fresh snow last night and colder temps have been making good ice on the lakes all week. I can’t speak for all of the lakes, but I have heard grumblings that LLL has anywhere from 6-8″ of ice across the entire lake.…

Fishing report 30 December 2023

Good morning, the new year looks to bring in some weather that should help make some ice. High temperatures right around freezing or just below and low temps well below freezing. It’s a long way out, but in the 15 day forecast I am seeing measurable snow on the 8th and 9th. The ice conditions…

Fishing report 23 December 2023

Good morning, almost unbelievable weather right now for this time of year…….a high of almost 50 degrees and rain for Xmas eve?!?!?!?!  These next 4 days will really test the ice in which I have heard mixed reports on anyway so far this season.  This week I have been hearing anywhere from 4-6″ on most…

Fishing report 16 December 2023

Good morning, this weather is absolutely ruining our chances for a good ice fishing/snowmobile season.  It rained on and off most of the day yesterday and we look to have daytime temps above freezing for the foreseeable future.   Only chances of precipitation are of rain or rain/snow mixes on Christmas day.   Fishing has been ok, but…

Fishing report 09 December 2023

Good morning from the Northwoods, while the weather is pleasant for some outdoor activities and great for people who don’t prefer winter, it is not conducive to ice making or winter sports.  Most of the little amount of snow we received is gone and we are losing ice.  This week of weather is all over the place, with high temps…

Fishing report 02 December 2023

Good morning, that awkward transition didn’t take long as the ice fishing season is upon us!  Had a handful of anglers in the bait shop yesterday buying bait for some early ice tip up action.  With the colder weather we have had and lack of snow, conditions have been great for making ice.  I am hearing…

Fishing report 25 November 2023

Good morning, cold nights are definitely starting to ice up some of the shallow bays and standing water in the area.  It will still be a few weeks before we can even think about setting foot on it, but it will get there.  No snow in the forecast for the seeable future so that should help to…
