fishing reports Yellow Lake Fishing Reports near Webster, WI

[perch yerker]

I found things the same way as fish were not in spots that I have caught them over the last five years. We ended the season on Friday (tried Saturday but got blown off) with a pair of 60" fish and a 51". The big fish was a 64 and both that was something to see with two fish on that big at the same time. I wish they would extend the season and make a catch and release only.

I may have watched you with those 2 fish on. Was there a gal in your boat with the other on and you drifted north a long ways?

I was fishing the same area (if that was you)

[mrmanners]

Yes that was us, also we set back up and had a bigger fish on that broke 80lb line then caught a 51 in that same area.

Haha....that was entertaining to watch. you had a chinese firedrill going on! I was in the big pontoon. We landed 11 in that same spot in a 3.5 hour window that day. Was crazy. Next day, I couldn't even mark a fish there.

Anyone out there still dedicated enough to be out on Yellow? Late fall muskies, anyone? Dropped my boat off in Hayward for winterization last weekend. Driving from Presque Isle to Grantsburg through snow was enough for me.

This ones been quiet lately. Any updated ice conditions? I'm going to be getting up there the weekend following thanksgiving to check things out. I've heard of people getting out on ice in Danbury? Any who, if you have ice reports, I WANT TO HEAR THEM! LOL.

I've seen people out on lake chetek on the webcam at Gillian's. There's a local lake near my house in Columbia heights that has between 2 3/4"-4".

Yellow froze over sat ,,my buddy that lives on the lake will check the ice and give me a report and if things look good I will be down there after thanksgiving

[Muskiemanzan13]

I'll be around after thanksgiving as well. Thanks for the update.

[LoonASea]

The wind yesterday opened Yellow back up at least by Yellow Lake Lodge ,,,Hopefully the wind dies down and it freeze over again ,,,Im going to keep my fingers crossed

[Muskiemanzan13]

Any word on the snowfall totals? Or if there's any anglers out on local lakes?

[Muskiemanzan13]

Happy thanksgiving all!

[muskyvic]

Anyone have any ice reports? On Facebook Ike Waltons says there is 6" on Big Yellow...could this be true? If anyone has an update...please let me know. If there is 6" or more I'll head up tomorrow.

Thanks

I fished the south end of Yellow and had 5 inches of ice,,,,, not much snow on the ice and its slippery clear ice ,,,,fishing was slow today ,,,But I will head back down soon

[Muskiemanzan13]

We fished near Siren and found 4"-6". Big trade had 5". We were able to catch fish on both but could only find keepers on wood. With this upcoming cold front we'll have almost a foot of ice by the time it's done. No snow and GLARE ice. The ticket was a small red glow tungsten jig with white and red maggots. Finesse fishing as they were not at all aggressive.

Good luck and stay safe out there.

Was anyone else able to get on some ice this weekend? Lots of walkable ice all over the area...

[Muskiemanzan13]

This snow is just not good. Webster, actually Burnett Co. is under a winter weather warning that forecasts 15"-20" when it's all said and done. Not good. I think they're just close enough to get some lake effect snow as well. Either way I could most definitely do without.

I'm not hitting any ice this weekend because the snow and miserably cold temps. in the future. I'll hopefully be up the weekend after to check things out though. If there's any locals or that have been up or are up there, does anyone have word on snowfall?

[Muskiemanzan13]

Well sounds like there's a bit of a change in plans. I'll be going up to Burnett Co. to check things out. If I'll be on ice is a totally different story.

[perch yerker]

Does anyone have a snowfall total around Yellow? Just curious what it ended up with.

Was wondering the same thing. I'll be calling a few baitshops to see if anyone has word on inches. Gonna be going up Sat to check ice.

Probably won't get out but will go check things out.

Snow. Was the heavy wet worthless variety

[Guest]

Aah I see. So it sunk most if not all of the ice then?

[Guest]

Some Mille Lacs resorts report 10"-12" of ice. Upper Red Lake has 10"-13" as well as Lake Of The Woods having 10"-13". How much by yellow and grantsburg? I'm thinking 8"-12" in most places?

[Guest]

Any word on ice thickness? I'm heading up on Saturday but I'm just curious. Plus, no ones been writing! Where is everyone? LOL

[DonBo]

Where is everyone?

Everyone's inside huddled around the fireplace. Too cold for me.
