Don,

I'm thinking about calling in sick tomorrow morning and heading up for a bit. Only been on the water 3 times this year and need to burn some gas. You going to be up?

[DonBo]

Probably not till later in the day on Saturday.

[Grayfox]

When I was picking up bait tonight a buddy told me there was a pretty big fish kill up there and she'll be pretty stinky. Sounded like whitefish and shad?

I'll let you know how we do.

What a great thread! I'm trying yellow lake this weekend for the first time. We're going for skies and walleye so hopefully I will have a nice report!

I'm in a big green starcraft if anyone wants to say hi!

[DonBo]

Glad you found us graf! I'll be fishing this Saturday. I'll try to keep an eye out for ya.

We fished yellow on Friday night and caught one adorable 18" musky. We had another follow and one large fish that hit 3 times but was never hooked. We were on the west side shore fishing the midlake humps.

We went up the road Saturday to Amnicon and got a 39" musky and missed a few more hits on top water. The water up there was super murky and I don't think we could have seen any follows that did happen.

Here's a few fish from Yellow on Sunday: 46" ski and 18" smallie. Both buried in the weeds, muskie on a glider and smallie on a double 8 bucktail.

[DonBo]

Nice fish Nick! Heard of a few skies being caught on Yellow recently, unfortunetely, walleye fishing remains spotty and poor.

Was a beautiful weekend though.

FINALLY put some keeper walleye in the boat! Been a long stretch for me. Four this weekend, all 17 - 18 inches. 12- 17 FOW, leeches.

The sturgeon guys after a slow start last week all did pretty good this weekend. Most put 2 - 4 in the boat on Saturday and a few more were caught this morning. Most were 45 - 60". Heard of one over 70"!

[DonBo]

This last weekend started out with a bang. Didn't have the boat off the lift more than 10 minutes Saturday morning and had a 20" walleye (released) in the net. Unfortunately, that would be the last keeper size fish of the weekend.

The gills were active in 12-16 FOW. Gravel seemed to be key.

A young man from our resort caught the biggest muskie of his life Saturday evening, a 44 incher. WTG Jake!

Most of the sturgeon guys have gone home, but there are rumors of an 84" monster some lucky angler caught this last week! Keep your eyes open for that report. We did see a woman boat a 48 incher right near us.

Water temps are in the mid 60's right now.

DonBO:

You must be doing more hunting than fishing, haven't seen any reports from you on the fishing at Yellow Lake.

Hope you are doing well my friend. Hopefully, we can connect next year at

Yellow Lake. Let me know if you will be fishing there next June. Take care

Yep, boat's been put away for a month now. Full time archery hunting this time of year. Waiting for ice now....

Let me think, will I be up there in June? Duh...

SECRET TIP: Don't tell anyone, but come early July for the best fishing.

Was up cutting wood this weekend and took a look at some of the area lakes. A very few had some people walking out a few days ago, but everything now has an inch of water on the surface. Not good.

There was a big bunch of snow geese sitting on Yellow though. Always cool to see them this far east.

[prophet]

I'm with the prophet... Hoping a small lake would have ice

[prophet]

heard they received around 7 inches of the snow in the area.no info yet on any ice conditions.have a couple small lakes in area i'm thinking of trying.may have to hit a couple favorite st croix open water spots for some shoreline casting if no ice.will have to pack for both i guess.

I was up fishing the past two Saturdays,

this past one is when it was raining, we went to Round Lake that's by Trade and we got one snake northern and for the ice. There was 4" inches of black/melting ice and on top of that was 2-4 inches of sloppy snow and slush. Overall it was scary looking ice. Heading up again this coming weekend though, all if not most lakes should have atleast walkable ice. Will update yall with a report when I go up next!...........Zander

[Muskiemanzan13]

I also made a youtube vid on the ice here's the link;

[DonBo]

Hey Muskie, welcome! Thanks for the report. Keep 'em comin". Glad you got on the ice, but geez, stay safe will ya?

With the snow mostly off the lakes now and colder weather this week, things are looking up.

[Muskiemanzan13]

Yeah the rain actually did us some good,

knocked the HEAVY snow off the lakes./

Now this weeks cold front will make good

ice A LOT faster.
