Fishing report 30 May 2026

Good morning from the Quiet Lakes, HOT and DRY would be how I would describe the weather to start the month of June.  Temperatures hovering right around 80 degrees for at least the next 15 days and overnight lows staying in the 50s will not help with keeping rising water temps in check.  I do see…

Fishing report 23 May 2026

Good morning from the Northwoods, a bit of a soggy start to the holiday weekend.  It has been raining pretty steady all morning. If the forecast holds true, it appears we are going to go from heating to air conditioning this year.  I am seeing temps climbing into the mid 80s this week and holding…

Fishing report 15 May 2026

Good evening from the Quiet Lakes. Getting you an early report, as I will be at the Fishing Has No Boundaries event tomorrow from early morning until late.  We had a good day out there today, albeit a warm one.  I think we got up to around 80 degrees with a pretty good breeze.  Tomorrow looks to…

Fishing report 09 May 2026

Good morning from the Quiet Lakes. The open water season is off to a SLOW start, both in terms of anglers catching fish and just anglers out fishing in general! Cold windy weather started the week, and word from the anglers in the bait shop said they saw very few boats out fishing during the…

Fishing report 02 May 2026

Good morning from the Quiet Lakes, it surely is going to be a chilly start to the fishing opener this morning as I am seeing frost on the roofs and temps hovering right around freezing as I type this. A mostly sunny sky weekend with highs in the 60s is a pretty great start to…

Fishing report 25 April 2026

Good morning from the Quiet Lakes, T minus seven days until fishing opener for ALL species including musky this year.  Smallies are the only ones anglers cannot harvest as their season is not until mid June, the exact date I don’t recall offhand.  We got some much needed rain Thursday evening into Friday morning and with…

Fishing report 18 April 2026

Good morning from the Quiet Lakes, I think we can officially call “ice out” on at least the Quiet Lakes and the Spider chain. Moose lake is open as well, so I think we are going to be in good shape for the opener in a couple of short weeks! Those storms that came through…

Fishing report 10 April 2026

Good evening from the Quiet Lakes, sending an early report as tomorrow I will be joining my son for his youth turkey hunt!  Gotta get after them early and not sure if they will cooperate so might as well get this to you tonight!  It looks like we are going to have a wet week…

Fishing report 04 April 2026

Good morning from the Quiet Lakes, an absolute nasty holiday weekend is underway for the Northwoods. Snow/sleet and ice accumulations are going to make travel unpleasant today, but we should start to see all of this mess going away as soon as tomorrow. The week ahead looks decent with temps in the 40s and 50s,…

Fishing report 28 March 2026

Good morning from the Quiet Lakes, a little cold snap yesterday and last night as I am seeing current temps sitting at 13 degrees.  Today goes up to 45 and from here on out daytime temps look to be above freezing.  Even the lows are creeping up to the upper 20s, low 30s.  It looks…
