Fishing report 25 March 2023

Good morning, it feels more like early spring than winter as of a few days ago, however no big warm up coming anytime soon.  Looks like temps will be steady in the upper 30s to low 40s during the day and dips below the 32 degree mark most nights.  While the snow is melting,  with…

Fishing report 18 March 2023

Good morning, drove through my first “snow squall” last night, that was a good time…….Between that little episode and some light snow we have about 3-4″ of new snow around the quiet lakes area. Hard to tell as we had some from early in the day and its been blowing around pretty good as well,…

Fishing report 11 March 2023

Good morning, weather all over the board starting with another winter weather advisory starting today and lasting through early Monday morning.  Total snow accumulations of 5-9″ is what I am hearing.  Then a low in the single digits, and highs at 40!  “March comes in like a lion” as the saying goes certainly seems to…

Fishing report 04 March 2023

Good morning, looks like temps above freezing during the day until next weekend and then a slight drop but not major.  It also looks like Sunday night through Monday we could be in for another round of moderate snow with 4-8″ possible.  Battling the snow on the ice this year has been a constant struggle and…

Fishing report 25 February 2023

Good morning, my best guess for snow totals we got with the last storm is +/- 10-12″.  Hard to tell with the blowing and drifting that was going on.  It looks like we may get another round on Monday, although it looks like more of an ice/snow mix with accumulations around 1-3″.  Ice travel should be much…

Fishing report 18 February 2023

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. …

Fishing report 11 February 2023

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…

Fishing report 04 February 2023

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. …

Fishing report 28 January 2023

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…

Fishing report 21 January 2023

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…
