Waukesha County - Fishing has been slower lately, but on the up side, very few anglers were out this week, so those that were had the lakes to themselves. Musky action has been consistent for anglers using large suckers around structure on Pewaukee and Okauchee lakes. Walleye are moving into winter patterns, so anglers should concentrate efforts on deep and midlake structure on Pewaukee, Okauchee and Upper Nemahbin lakes using larger jigs and shiners. Northern pike have been very inactive. Panfish action has been good for perch and bluegills on Muskego and Phantom lakes.
Fish are near drop-offs adjacent to weed flats.
Smaller ice jigs and plastics have been the best baits. Waterfowl hunters were having limited success on Pool 9. Northern shrikes and rough-legged hawks and snowbuntings have moved into the area. Grant County - Deer hunters are having good success. With the mild weather, deer hunters have stayed in the woods.
