Good morning, warmer temps for this weekend and a dip into the teens by the end of the week. Looks like a “potential winter storm” could bring us snow for the Birkie. A little bit of snow could be a good thing for ice travel as well, the rain last week knocked the ice down to bare. …
Good morning, decent weather on tap for the foreseeable future, at least for ice fishing and outdoor activities. Fishing (or at least anglers) have picked up a bit over this last week. Ice conditions were back to pretty good before the mid week warm up and a lot of the snow on the lakes is…
Good morning, quite a warm up this week from last week. If you factor in the “windchill” it is almost an 80 degree swing from last Thursday to next Thursday. I’ve talked to a few anglers and they said the cold helped the lakes a little bit, but it almost seems too little too late. …
Good morning, do I dare say finally some winter temperatures up here in the Northwoods!?!? I know most people prefer a mild winter but it has not been good for ice fishing. I actually saw photo evidence from a customer who’s UTV went partially through Teal lake last weekend traveling over a same area he had fished the week…
Good morning, about 10″ of new snow fell here around the quiet lakes with that last storm. As if lake travel wasn’t bad enough before, it is now!! Unfortunately, I have not had many people coming in for bait as they are just not going out!! Northern pike–Northern pike should still be fished fairly shallow…
Good morning, pretty warm temps for mid January up here should help the snow settle a bit, but there is still a bunch of slush under the snow and above the ice from what I am told. I am seeing rain/wintry mix Sunday night into Monday followed by some snow late Monday into Tuesday. I still don’t…
Good morning, welcome to the first fishing report of 2023 and Happy New Year!! This winter has not been very kind to ice fishermen/women and this last round of snow certainly will not help change that. The good news is most of the lakes are staked for snowmobile trails including LCO and Grindstone (yesterday) and…
Good morning, the weather looks good for a while as far as outdoor sports go and enough snow still on the trails to keep everyone happy. Ice conditions are good on most lakes as I am hearing pretty consistently around 8-10″ of ice. The 3 big lakes that I am hearing are still in question…
Good morning, bitter cold temps over the last few days surely have to have helped the ice conditions. From what I am hearing there is a fair amount of slush in between the snowpack and ice. Ice travel on anything other than a tracked machine will not be easy and on some lakes still not…
Good morning, +/- about 18″ of snow out by the quiet lakes is not going to help the ice on the lakes. Use caution if you are heading out as there is going to be mess on top of good ice. Some lakes may not have had good ice to start with so be mindful of…
