Balsam Lake Report - 12/29

[kenais]

Fishing has been hit or miss. The crappies where biting well last week and have slowed somewhat starting last weekend with the warm weather. Moving until you find active fish has been the key. Bluegill fishing hasn't picked up yet. Bass have been fairly easy to catch in the bays, 6-10' OW with shiners on tipups. A few stray northern have also been caught during the day, legal fish have been rare. Walleye fishing has been slow since the warm weather.

Ice roads have been plowed from the Forest Circle and Hwy 46 landings. The Beach landing has not been plowed but there are trails broken. Not much snow left after the warm weather.
