RiverFish Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Out this morning out of Galecke. Surface water temp 43-46. Fishing was slow. Only managed about 6 small walleyes. Jigs and minnows/crawlers caught fish. Nothing dragging cranks or on crawler harnesses. A few other guys out, saw them catch a few.Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Keep up the reports fellas! Hit one of my WI River wading spots today, this one a bit farther north in Lincoln county. The smallies have shoulders on this stretch and I was in the area so figured I'd stop by. Fun stuff. Was actually slow fishing, only landed 4 fish, but they went 13, 15, 18.25, and 18.5 so I can't complain. Sorry for the bad pics, was propping the camera on tree branches trying to get pictures...

RiverFish Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Great pics Lunker,Was on the Biron Flowage today, surface water temp was 62 degrees. Small walleyes were biting like crazy on the Slow Death hooks, only one legal walleye though. Great time to take kids for some constant walleye action. Also caught a few small crappies and 2 nice sized cats that just about ripped the rod out of my hand when they hit.Game warden was putting in when I was loading out. He just asked how fishing was and that was it, no compliance check. I thought it was little weird that he didn't do a check. First time I have seen a Warden during the open water season on the Biron flowage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverFish Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Biron flowage - water temp 68 degrees.Fishing was terrible. We actually did not boat a fish. The kids and I fished shiners and crawlers anchored with not a bite. I did have on 2 smallies with a blade bait, but did not land them. We didn't drag spinners or cranks, but I don't know if it would have helped.Green algae is all over, I have not seen the Flowage like that.Good luck.

One legal eye and one nice bonus crappie for the pan. Also caught few catfish.Fished seemed to be in deeper water. All fish caught on a whistler jig and crawler.

Lindy's with suckers were used. In talking with others, it seems like the last month has been slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
