Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for February 15, 2018

[Rick]

Over halfway through February already, and it's been a mixed bag weather-wise. The month started off cold with lows below zero nearly every night but the high temperature Wednesday was in the mid-40s to low 50s. As of Thursday, snowmobile trails remained open and in good to excellent condition in about 20 northern counties. Cross-Country Ski Trail Conditions remain good to excellent across the north, but the warm-up this week shut down much of the short-lived skiing in southern Wisconsin after just receiving the first decent snow last week.Ice anglers in the Northwoods report approximately 20-plus inches of ice on inland lakes with some success for crappies and walleye. Fishing has begun to pick up in central Wisconsin with some nice crappies being caught in deep water.
