Hi everyone,
Here,s our tax dollars at work. How does a guy get this job??
NORTHERN REGIONPark Falls DNR Service Center area
Upper Chippewa Basin fisheries report (Price, Rusk, Sawyer Taylor and inland Ashland and Iron counties) - Hunting has pretty much replaced fishing as the main form of outdoor recreation in the Northwoods in the last couple weeks. Grouse are still being found in fairly good numbers and the beginning of the rut has bow hunters spending a lot of time in their deer stands.
Water temperatures have been getting colder by the week and most lakes are reported to be in the upper 40-degree range. And along with erratic weather and colder water temperatures, fewer and fewer anglers have been venturing out.
Musky continue to be the main species of interest and have been providing some fair to good action lately. Most of the musky anglers have been dragging large suckers around and have been seeing quite a few fish. No recent reports of any large fish, but quite a few 34 to 42-inch fish have been landed. Some anglers are still throwing artificial baits and have been experiencing some action, with fish being more active on the sunny and warmer days when the water has warmed a bit.
A few walleye anglers have still been trying their luck and success has been very inconsistent -- some days provide good action on small and medium-size walleye while other days provide virtually no action at all. Live minnows continue to best the best bait, whether fished below a slip bobber, on a jig, or a bare hook dragged along the bottom. Cloudy days often produce some catches all day long, but on sunny days, look for the fish to bite in the late afternoon hours.
Panfish action has been fair and a few nice catches of crappie and perch are still being made along mid-depth breaks and near cover.
Bass fishing can basically be considered done for the open-water season
Enjoy the outdoors everyone.
