Woodruff Fishing Reports - Oneida County

[Rick]

Walleye action is reported as fair with northerns being caught in fairly good numbers over heavy green weeds.

The crappies are hanging in about 6 to 8 feet of water and associated with cabbage weeds.

Bluegill action is reported to be on the rise and these fish are also being caught in the deep weed edges or associated with some structure.

The more remote lakes are said to be the best sources for more abundant catches.

Perch action is fair right now.

Snow conditions for both skiing and snowmobiling are fair with the little snowfall this past weekend. Colder temperatures this week will help preserve the trails conditions. Please remember to stop and obtain snowmobile trail passes as necessary. Also remember the statewide night time speed limit of 55 for snowmobiles.

Of special interest, the whitetail bucks have begun to shed their antlers. Some of these bucks could retain their antlers until into March.

Been fishing the minocqua area(oneida/vilas counties) a lot this winter. Fishing has been pretty good. Been doing well lately finding nice perch and a few eyes on the edges of flats in 20-25 fow.
