Upper Chippewa Basin fisheries report (Price, Rusk, Sawyer Taylor and inland Ashland and Iron counties) - For all intents and purposes, the open-water fishing season has come to an end across the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Most of the smaller lakes have iced over and many of the bays on the larger lakes also have a thin layer of ice. Ice thickness is generally less than an inch and is no where near thick enough for any kind of ice fishing. It will likely be another week or so until the ice is thick enough for the first ice fishing reports to come in.

Very desirable weather should greet hunter’s opening weekend of the deer gun season. Snow cover varies throughout the Northwoods from several inches to patchy bare spots. Cool temperatures are predicted, which will help in keeping snow on the ground. Predictions for later in the week are for colder temps and light precipitation. Deer are still in rut so one can plan their strategies with that in mind. The bucks are now actively “chasing” and will no doubt still be in that mode come opening morning. Cool night time temperatures have caused some of the smaller lakes and shallow bays to skim over with ice. Daytime warmer temps have inhibited any significant ice formation so many late season musky hunters are taking advantage of the open water opportunities. Most success is reported to be associated with using suckers as bait. A reminder that waterfowl season closes on November 25 in the northern zone.
