Yesterday, the NW wind picked up through the afternoon, and by dusk, it was blowing enough to loosen up what snow was out there and start drifting some. There were some visibility issues for a while, but that didn’t last long. This morning, when I went out at 4:00 a.m. to check the roads and driveways for rental arrival, things looked good, considering the amount of wind.

From the reports I received in the afternoon and early evening, the bite was slow, and the bulk of the catch was smalls. However, I did receive some nice pictures of over the slot Walleye,

Today, we will check our customers to ensure everyone is mobile. On a side note, it is time for some resorts to keep their customers in the areas they maintain and not send them to other areas maintained by other resorts.  It should be a common courtesy to ask their customers where they plan on fishing and inform them. We ask that in our office all the time. There is enough snow now, and roads have been established, so it shouldn’t be a problem from here on out.

Stay warm out there!

The bite has been sporadic for the last couple of days, with better activity in the shallows in the evening. Perch activity has also been picking up through the warm-up.

This afternoon, a cold front will arrive with strong winds. NOAA forecasts 25-30 mph NW winds, with gusts to 40 mph, bringing in some of the coldest weather of the season. It is predicted to last into next week. Needless to say, it will make for an interesting weekend out there. With the warmer weather the last couple of days, the snow has settled some and hopefully will not drift too much.

Be Safe, and Have a Good Weekend!

Yesterday, with the high barometer, the bite was quiet. A 35″ Northern was C/R in one of our rentals, but according to the reports I received, that was the highlight of the day. I’m looking forward to the weather changing and warming up, as fishing should pick up over the next couple of days.

Our weekend wheelhouse list is growing, so please call if you’d like to be added before it fills up.

Permanents coming for the weekend will need to call 24 hours in advance for driveways, drilling, and other services.

Keep a Tight Line!
