@PikePro33:
Walleye spawn will commence as waters warm which is a natural with the sun exposure we are getting. It may take a bit of time for the eggs to soften which may slow down the process a bit. With late ice outs the photoperiodism and extra time allows for eggs to soften and has the fish ready even though there's only 10-20 yards of open water.

Well it is official, the ice is completely out on my lake, as these photos of a few short minutes ago were taken. Wanted to show the pics.
Saw 3 Kayakers earlier today and a Canoer just passed next to my shore line 10 minutes ago. What a fast change from winter.
Some years ago we saw this at the same time of year. A few of the bigger lakes will take a little longer.
As of today, some open water and black ice is common on most lakes in Vilas County WI..
Many people have been fishing the Wisconsin river for a few weeks, as well as other smaller rivers.
Remember, support the local business’s.
Some openings in July and August of 2024.
As always, stay positive think clearly, do not listen to negative talk and do not listen to negative people.
God Bless

In a few short days the ice is going out. As these photos of today clearly show.

We can put a fork in the ice season (or a chisel, spike, cleat, whatever your favorite euphemism would be).
While spots out on certain lakes still had fishable ice by Friday (3/8), even the weekend’s cold weather couldn’t hold up against the wind. Shorelines are pulling away. Ice (even when 6-8” was found) is not strong, crumbling under just a couple chisel strokes. The next 40+ hours will be above freezing with some temps in the 50’s even possible 60’s with cooler weather the following week, things look to be just enough for neither ice nor boat anglers to be able to get out and fish panfish.
Without abilities to fish locally, this fishing report will suspend until there is something to write about.
Keep the evening of April 8th open to attend your local Conservation Congress Spring Hearings. This is your chance to voice your opinion on subjects that affect you, the outdoors people! Your support (or non-support) helps direct the Natural Resource Board to direct the Department of Natural Resources as to upcoming rules and regulations that affect us. Remember, a non-vote is like ½ a vote for the opinion you have, so share.
