    Trout fishing mixed in with hunting for morels…doesn’t get any better than that! Although I wish I had the time to go up north…

    I sure would like to learn how to find them up north. Heard you can queue in on poplars? I cant get past the tics. I have found so many this year already I’m just about done looking.

    Putting the boat in Thursday night at the cabin north of Amery to avoid the boat launching mess. No walleyes in the lake to speak of, but the crappies are on a tear right now. 100+ fish days on a 1/32 oz red flu flu sweatened with a gulp wiggler under and small cork slowly retrieved. Eyes in the next week.

    Crappies sound cool. I’m taking a young family friend up with us so not just fishing. He will want to shoot guns for sure and we’ll probably do a little 4-wheeling. Good luck.

    I know it’s open year ’round but Winnebago. Bago-Bago should be on fire by the opener. Last week it’s been a couple here,couple there. This weekend should be awesome. Let’s just say- east side on the rocks. Go get ’em!

    That’s been a 20 year tradition for me- trout fish in the morning, find some shrooms in the afternoon!!!

    That sounds fantastic. After todays 2 lb haul I may be done mushrooming. I’m drying them all. Almost sick of eating them which means a great year!!!

    Turtle flambeau flowage. Great walleye fishing. Size is not always great

    Great walleye fishing? You are finally seeing the light.

    Yeah, well smallmouth isn’t open yet. It’s either wallys or perch. Guess they both fight the same.

    In regard to the TFF, the question is wheter you want eaters or wallhangers? The TFF has more walleyes per acre than any other body of water in Wisconsin; however, most are in the 15″-18″ class. Occasionally, someone gets a 30″ fish.

    On the other hand, the smallmouth fishing is out of this world in both size and quantity.

    Fished the Rainbow and had a 2 man limit of walleyes(2 fish each) 16″ to 17″ and a 12″ perch. We fished from 11:30 to 4:30.This was the first opener I fished for a lot of years and now I remember why, the landing was conjested and some people just don’t have any common sense!

    Worked all weekend – a good thing based on the crappy weather, my sconnie opener is in 5 hours down on the pond. A pond that will be rising three feet in the next couple days. Should be interesting, will report good bad or ugly later tonight

    Pretty slow down on the pond, caught a few walleye, some rocky’s and a crappie. Sure was nice to get out. The river came up over 2′ yesterday. I am sure that had something to do with the slow bite….
