Prairie Lake-Chetek

[wounded minnow]

Has anyone been catching anything on Prairie Lake? What are the ice conditions? I am thinking about driving there this weekend, but it is a couple of hours away. Any info would be much appreciated.

I haven't fished there in probably two weeks, but I don't know if it's worth a couple hour drive. The bluegills and crappies have been numerous, but small this year. You'll probably be able to pick through them and scratch out enough for a meal, but it won't be impressive. Check out the fishing reoprts at HotSpotOutdoors.com for some reports on Chetek.
You'll catch fish for sure. It's up to you to decide if you want to make the drive for lots of little fish.

Thanks for the insight. I'll probably try again later in a few weeks.
