Very slow this morning, counted about three dozen fishermen, warm sunny weather with a 5 mph wind. A few were getting hits on spoons and grubs, I used a woolly bugger and crionomid and no luck.

Made my final trip to Hog today. Due to rapidly warming temps and rain, the ice is quickly deteriorating. While the main ice cover is still 9-10" thick, there is a strip of open water about 2-3' aroun...

Tough rating this one... Only caught two fish but I gave it a 4 anyway because of the other factors: 1) It was my 1st time ice-fishing; 2) the nice guys next to us who let us use their ice auger, an...

The ice on Hog is hanging tough. Despite some slush every afternoon, the lake always refreezes by the following morning due to our overnight lows. If possible, avoid fishing between the SLOW hours of ...

Not a bad trip to Hog today, but not quite as fast and furious as yesterday. I still got nearly 20 takes, but most were of the "hit and run" variety where they hit fast and let go faster! It was madde...

With my fly rods and pontoon boat collecting dust in the garage, I figured "if you can't beat them, you might as well join them." So I dug out my jigging rods and augers which hadn't been used in 10 y...

I've been wanting to fish this lake through the ice this winter, but alas, no ice! I finned around in my pontoon boat Saturday and trolled with my fly rod in a friends boat Sunday. I used my lake stan...
