Fishing Report for 1-26-21

As of late last week, the ice remained roughly 12-18 inches thick on area lakes. While all species of fish are biting, panfish offer the hottest bite. Most anglers agree that low light hours have been best. Walleye anglers are doing well when working the edges of the weedlines at the tips of the points. The key is to stay on the move until fish are located, then aggressively jig spoons tipped with a minnow. Just a reminder, ice can vary in thickness from one area of a lake to another, so anglers are encouraged to measure the ice often as they venture out.
