With last week's cold snap, some lakes had started to freeze over but it's mostly skim ice and not safe yet for ice fishing. A warm up and rain in the forecast could melt ice that has formed. However open water fishing has continued to be good on Lower Green Bay and the Fox River for those who have not put their boats away yet. There were solid catches for musky with anglers reporting fish over 48 inches on the bay and excellent fishing for walleye and whitefish on the Fox. Those whitefish are pushing into the rivers to begin their spawning run and will remain in the river for the majority of winter, feeding on the abundant forage the Fox River has to offer.
On Wednesday morning on WLUK TV 11, they showed a photo of a row of tip-ups in the Hurley, WI ice fishing. I do not recommend anyone going out on any water surface around the central part of the state, but please check with all the locals if you do plan on going out onto the ice. BE SAFE PLEASE!
