Roger's Outdoor Notes

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.
