Most lakes are in the process of icing up.
When you're at the lake, stop in and check out the latest fishing information from the baitshops that provide us with our reports. If you mention you saw their ad here, many offer discounts on bait or tackle. We have a new specie in the lake that has grown over the last few years, that is white perch. I have talked to fisherman that have kept the bigger ones, and they say that they are excellent eating. You can distinguish the white perch from white bass by the splash of purple under the mouth.
