The walleye action has now picked up with good catches reported off of Sportsmans Landing in 6'-8' of water on tip-ups with golden shiners. A few are also being caught in the Lake Bastine are off the sand bar in front of Flambeau Vista Retreat. Action is best from one hour prior to sunset until one hour after sunset. Some crappies are also being caught in abought 20' of water off of Pine Island. Ice depths remain at about 10" with ATVs and snowmoviles traveling without a problem. Some brave souls are bringing trucks on the ice, but extreme caution is advised.

The trails have held up surprisingly well with the warm temps. with a 10"-12" base thanks to last weeks snowfall. Snowmobilers are reporting fair to good trail conditions. The best riding is reported to be on trails #9 and #14. There are 18 miles of good riding on the Flowage trail that has been marked. An area of slush is reported near Big Island by Pink Rock. Lake effet snow of 1/2"-1" falls most nights to keep thing tidy. The groomers are out each weeknight keeping thing in great shape. All groomers are volunteers and put in 6-8 hours per evening from their own time. Please support their efforts by putting a few dollars in the "trail pigs" found at most businesses.

Please remember to attend the Justen Donner Memorial Fisheree on Jan. 28th, 2012 and the Klause Kratke Memorial Fisheree on Feb. 25th, 2012. Music, Food, Beverages, Raffles and a great time are at each event being held in the heated tent on the ice in front of Donners Bay Resort. Even if you are not an angler, stop by to visit with your freinds and neighbors that will be at these events. Call Donners Bay Resort at 715-476-2555 for more details.

I just met with some of the guides tonight who told me ice depths greatly vary from 4"-12" so caution is still urged. Trucks travel on the ice is not advised. We are expecting some cold temps over the next several days that should firm things up nicely. The forecast also calls for 8"-12" of snow by Friday, Jan. 13th, 2012. Fishing has been hit or miss the past couple of days. Some are doing well, while others are frustrated. Sounds like "fishing"!!
