Hi everyone,
Here's this weeks DNR outdoor report.
Park Falls DNR Service Center area
Upper Chippewa Basin fisheries report (Price, Rusk, Sawyer Taylor and inland Ashland and Iron counties) -
The change to wet and cooler weather has resulted in some erratic fishing success on lakes in the Northwoods in the last week. Water temperatures have dropped into the low 50s on most lakes and along with the wet and windy weather, fewer and fewer anglers have been venturing out.
Musky, walleye and crappie have been the main species of interest and musky have once again been providing the most consistent action. Most of the musky anglers have been dragging large suckers around, though a few continue to cast artificial baits. The sucker anglers have been having fair success with a lot of 'hit and drops' being reported. A few musky have been caught and most have been in the 34 to 42-inch size. Action on artificials has been hit or miss, as the cooler water temperatures have made the fish more reluctant to hit fast-moving baits. The slower moving lures such as jerk baits and bulldawgs have been the most productive.
There has been a recent surge in crappie action with quite a few reports of some decent catches. The crappie have been found along and near the mid-depth cover, such as deep weed lines and brush/cover in 8 to 15 feet of water.
Walleye success continues to be generally slow with only a few reports of catches being made. With the colder water temperatures, bass fishing is all but over for the year.
Enjoy the outdoors everyone.
