we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Rick Posted February 1, 2018 we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted February 1, 2018 While the southern portions of the state have continued to suffer from a lack of snow, northern counties some northern areas received additional snowfall as recently as January 30. About 20 northern counties are now rating snowmobile conditions as fair to good on the Wisconsin Department of Tourism's Snow Conditions Report (exit DNR).The same is largely true for those looking to ski or snowshoe, with many counties in the northern sections of the state ready with groomed trails for cross-country skiing and trails with enough snow pack for snowshoeing. Be aware that the recent warmth and following cold may have made trails icy in areas. People can now check on cross-country ski conditions at a number of state park and forest properties through the DNR page by searching keywords "trail conditions."People can now check on cross-country ski conditions through the DNR page. These freshly groomed trails are at Pattison State Park.Photo credit: DNRWith the rain and wind on in late January came huge ice shoves on the Bay of Green Bay at the Oconto breakwater stacking up ice and creating difficult travel conditions. Anglers who are venturing out are staying away the from larger cracks and staying close to the breakwater and are reporting limits of whitefish, smaller perch and variable sizes of northern. Anglers at the Peshtigo harbor in Marinette County have been catching smaller northern pike on tip-ups. Anglers off Voyageur's Park are landing good numbers of walleye, along with fewer whitefish and northern. Those fishing out at Bayshore and Volk's Landing were targeting whitefish, but having a tougher time of it. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
