Walleye - Walleye fishing remained slow as cold temps and rain made it challenging just to get out.  The few anglers that went out reported still finding walleyes out around sunken islands or up on large shallow, wind blown flats.  Larger minnows fished on lindy rigs seemed to be key to anglers success.  Water temps are now holding in the mid 50’s, so the best fishing is still to come.

Pike - Anglers continue to find pike easy to catch, but lacking in size.  Large sucker minnows fished under a bobber around river mouths, weedlines or shallow rocky points, has been very effective. As water temps continue to drop, rocky points will only become more important to anglers success.

Stream Trout - Shore angler fishing for stream trout are reporting good to excellent fishing right now.  Night crawlers fished 5-15ft under a bobber has been the most popular and maybe most effective.  Small spoons and spinners have also effective on trout.  Anglers should be looking for trout around sharpe drop offs, large rocky flats or around downed trees.
