Bite Picking Up

The bite finally picked up for me this past Saturday. I was able to put a few on top of the ice and see a few others underneath it. I'm having a blast with the new Vexilar FS800 camera ... watching trout cruise under ice hole. Some of the fish down there are just scary big! Had one come up and suck in a spawn sac but didn't get the hook into her. She could have been my biggest ice trout!

Ice Bite Slow But Steady

We need warmth!

Finally!

Finally found some Steelhead yesterday! Found a few dozen browns too.

Browns Heating Up

Fall Trout Bite Starting

Picked up a few browns last week in Milwaukee. Had a bunch of BIG salmon stretch my string but they have this way of finding docks, poles, chains, etc. Give it another week and the browns and steelhead should be coming in strong.

A Few from Last Week...

A unique salmon run this year. Took a few really nice fish. Going to start fall bass fishing now.

From the Weekend

Weather didn't cooperate. Neither did the bite.

Slow Start

High water temps have delayed the salmon run for us but there are still a few fish to be had. Here's a couple we picked up on Saturday night.

Salmon Run is Starting ...

The fall salmon run is just beginning and all indications are ... it's going to be a BIG fish year!

A Few More from Last Night

The bite was definitely slower last night, but the quality was worth the effort!

Summer Bite is Great!

The bite on the Madison Chain has been outstanding. Here's a few pics from the past few days...
