FISHING WITH THE GUIDES
by George Langley
January 23, 2012 FISHING REPORT:

We are now experiencing more typical January weather, with more snow on the ice and some occasionally really cold weather to deal with. The lakes still have pretty good access at this point, as many anglers make it easier for everyone by plowing a road onto the ice. Ice thickness is now as thick as 18" on some lakes, so it is really getting thick. With more snow, the snow shoe and cross country ski enthusiasts are quite happy. It is really pretty out in the woods at this time of year, and you get to see a lot of wildlife if you are quiet and watchful. If you do drive out on the ice, we would certainly suggest that you have a four wheel vehicle, as there are snow dunes on most of the lakes from the wind.

Walleye fishing remains surprisingly good for this time of year. On some years we seem to get a January slump, but that hasn't happened this year here. Some nice fish have been reported even through that cold front last week, and many more anglers are getting out there with the warmer weather this week. As always, either sucker minnows or golden shiners are the favored bait. At this point, it is about 50/50 between the two. Most of the fish are still being caught in the evening and after dark, but a few anglers have reported some good action jigging for them during the afternoon also.

Northern action is still good also. The fish are moving on a daily basis through the weeds, hunting for panfish and minnows to feed on. The best action is on large shiners, and most anglers report better action if they move their tipups often, with the best action coming right after they drop the shiner in the water. Look for weeds for these fish - the same areas that you usually fish for bluegills and perch.

Speaking of panfish, that action has been OK, but a little slower because of that cold front. Spikes have been reported as the best bait for the bluegills, and wigglers and waxies are best for the perch. The bigger perch are generally in deeper weeds than the bluegills. Crappies are now being found off the weeds and in the holes on the Chain. These guys are hitting pretty much on crappie minnows only.

We have nice ice fishing conditions now - take advantage of both the good fishing and the good weather.

Good luck and good fishin'!
