Please remember to keep bird feeders full as birds are depending on your assistance. Ice thickness is pretty good, but varies, so check with local anglers before venturing out on any lake. Walleye fishing is generally good. Most fish have been taken in the late afternoon to early evening hours, on medium shiners or walleye suckers, using tip ups. Fish are generally on the breaklines from 10 to 25 feet of water.
Northern fishing is quite good.
Fish anywhere where there are green weeds, in 8 to 12 feet of water. Use tip ups and large shiners or smelt. Panfishing action is pretty slow because most anglers are not jigging, due to cold and wind. Crappie and bluegill are completely turned off because of the cold weather. Perch are being taken on waxies and wigglers, fishing deep in 20 to 30 feet of water.
