Skiing and snowmobile conditions are superb. Anglers are having a hard time reaching favorite lakes with vehicles as many landings are blocked by deep snow. Grooming of snowmobile trails and cross-country ski trails continues on an almost daily basis. Snowmobilers are urged to use caution on the trails as many deer have taken to using the snowmobile trails to travel from one place to another. Snowmobilers should be alert for deer forced onto trails by the deep snow in the forest.
Anglers report successful panfishing on area lakes.
Ice fishing has been reduced to the near-shore areas and is primarily for panfish. Bluegill, yellow perch, rock bass, and black crappie are providing the most action. Lakes in the Florence and Spread Eagle area have been the most productive. Marinette County - Anglers report catches of northern pike, bluegill, and black crappie on the Peshtigo River flowages in the Crivitz area. Deep snow and slush on the ice have reduced fishing pressure to a minimum.
