FISHING NEWS: Well, the fishing around the whole
state has been really slow this week. Lake Michigan tributaries are open but
low flows are being reported on most rivers and the steelhead run so far has
been slow. A few steelheads were being reported from the BRANCH, EAST &
WEST TWIN RIVERS, MANITOWOC, SHEBOYGAN AND ROOT RIVERS. The Port Washington
harbor has been producing a fair amount of Brown Trout, with an occasional
steelhead. The Menominee River has been producing some nice Brown Trout and a
few Walleye mainly below the Hattie Street Dam down to Stephenson Island in
Marinette. Boat launches and rivers along the West Shore are mostly still iced
in. All of the landings on the Bay side of Door County are still frozen shut.
The Bay itself is fairly open with some ice chunks out on the water and some
ice shoves forming along shore. Along the lake, the Kewaunee Harbor is open and
anglers took advantage of the calm weather last weekend out on the lake, mainly
trolling close to shore for Brown Trout. Anglers were out in droves during the
week on the Fox River in hopes of catching some early season walleye. Anglers
were fishing both from shore with moderate success and many anglers also took
to their boats and lined the Fox River fishing mainly in the middle of it.
