Chippewa Flowage Report from dnr

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.

Hello everyone!

Well, I'm watching the weather and fearing the worst for next week - as far as fishing is concerned.  It looks possible that there will be too much ice for open water fishing, but NOT thick enough ice to ice fish. 

I did receive a Moose report that ice has formed in the bays at this point.  he's still having luck tho, including a 20" the other day.

Hope everyone else is doing well,

Lar

Lar, I hope to be ice fishing this weekend. Lakes are skimmed over right now, and should have a good three inches by sat. I'll let you know how i do. If all you see is blub blub, that means the ice was to thin. Tight lines walleyemaxx

3", you are crazy. WalleyeMax be careful. Not worth falling in, for a few fish.

Ellie, November 18, 2008 - 5:24 PM:
Hey Lar! Good to hear from you! I was starting to worry that you liked the Big Apple and were staying there for good. Glad to see your posts again!

Dan H, November 18, 2008 - 5:45 PM:
Hey Larry, just making sure you stayed out of the "blueberry" and "rasberry" district while you where in teh big apple? Hope all is well! Remember the apple and strawberry districts are the safest places to be!!

Ellie, November 18, 2008 - 6:36 PM:
Dan, it's too bad you're young and can still remember every darn little thing!!

lg3, November 18, 2008 - 6:50 PM:
LOLOLOL.... Someone better explain that one. NOT ME. Anyway, I was in the "LaGuardia district". One thing that stinks about travel is that if you choose the convenience of a hotel a block away from an airport, the neighborhood is never gonna be great. Will be going back in a couple weeks and will have to try out the Strawberry Distict. Hopefully will get to see "stuff" this time, too.

Ellie, November 19, 2008 - 5:48 AM:
NOT ME EITHER!! How 'bout we just FORGET THE WHOLE THING?? Okay? Christmas is coming and everyone should be nice, not naughty, right?

walleyemaxx, November 19, 2008 - 3:00 PM:
Ellie, your right! I'm going to send you a picture of brett farve for christmas.

Jenks General News Report - Wednesday, November 19, 2008 Deer season Just a reminder that the 9 day deer season opens Sat morning. There's a little snow on the ground with some daily blowing around over the next few days---but nothing serious. Ice conditions There's about a half inch on the bays on the Flowage (and all of the shallow dark lakes). It's supposed to stay cold so I would say that there's a fair chance that we're going to get some tip-up fishing before the lake closes. I'll update the ice conditions in a few days.

great info. thanks, Herb

Have fun in the big apple you poor sonofagun

lg3, November 13, 2008 - 3:58 PM:
Thanks, Maxx. Talk more on Sunday! By the way, thanks again for the espresso. It *was* delicious - I even contacted Eagle River Roasters about getting on a mail plan.

lg3, November 14, 2008 - 11:52 PM:
well, as im sure its been said many times, New York is no Hayward, WI. Having said that, I'm having an excellent time here. I got in late last nite, to my hotel by midnite. For all of you that doubt I "really" work..haha..I was in meetings from 11am til midnite tonite, and then round II tomorrow. not had time to see anything really, except the inside of conference rooms and restaurants. Tomorrow's meetings are in Chinatown however!

Ellie, November 15, 2008 - 2:50 PM:
Wow! Sounds very executive-ish. I'm very impressed. Did you wear your LRGRAF sweatshirt or your Lazy Mutt sweatshirt? Can't wait to hear more about your trip.

Hose, November 16, 2008 - 3:32 PM:
Did the Bears show up today or did they forfeit?

walleyemaxx, November 17, 2008 - 10:30 AM:
Da bears da bears da bears da bears da bears da bears SUCK!! Ellie, how'd the viqueens do?

Hose, November 17, 2008 - 11:47 AM:
As Ellies spokesman, I believe they lost to Tampa. All three should be tied in the standings.

Ellie, November 17, 2008 - 1:18 PM:
It's true, the Viqueens lost to Tampa 19-13. I was at work and unable to watch the misery. It's a tough year. Hope everyone in lrgraf.com land is doing well.

Hose, November 17, 2008 - 4:19 PM:
See Ellie I had no disparaging remarks to say about the Vikings. I know what it is like like to lose a close game, like the week before last in the DOME.I also have a son who lost money on that game.

JRN, November 18, 2008 - 1:00 PM:
GO PACK GO!!!

walleyemaxx, November 18, 2008 - 5:01 PM:

Upper Chippewa Basin fisheries report (Price, Rusk, Sawyer Taylor and inland Ashland and Iron counties) - Seasonably cold weather has kept fishing pressure to a minimum and only a few die-hard anglers have been venturing out on local waters. Most of the fishing pressure continues to be for musky and nearly all of these late-season musky anglers are dragging large suckers around. Success has been fair, with a few catches of 36 to 40-inch fish have been reported, but several anglers have said that the musky just seem to be hitting and dropping the suckers. A few walleye anglers have also been sighted, but action has been generally slow. Water temperatures have fallen into the low 40s and, with single-digit temperatures in the last few nights, some ponds and small lakes have developed a thin layer of skim ice. A few of the larger lakes do have some shoreline ice in the shallow back bays, but full ice cover is still a couple of weeks away.

ooooooooo....has anyone tried this?

Dan H, November 12, 2008 - 2:58 PM:
its a rice beer, you dont want to drink a rice beer

lg3, November 12, 2008 - 3:38 PM:
why not

Ellie, November 12, 2008 - 7:47 PM:
I didn't see anything about it being a rice beer. I looked at all the videos on the site. How do you know this Dan? Does it taste bad?

Dan H, November 12, 2008 - 7:59 PM:
Its budweiser, every product they make is a "rice beer"

Derek, November 12, 2008 - 9:22 PM:
Anheuser is marketing this as a 100% malt beer. This would make rice absent from the ingredients list. For those that have played around in home brewing, you can use rice extract to add alcohol content without changing the flavor much. The more rice, the lighter the taste. Americans tend to prefer a lighter drinking beer so rice plays a perfect role. Oh..it's cheap too!

lg3, November 12, 2008 - 10:37 PM:
interesting. Shane had mentioned this to me one time at the lodge. This was before the introduction of Lazy Mutt of course, and they had run out of Bud Light at the bar, so I went to get a Miller Lite and Shane said not to do that because I was mixing a rice beer with barley or wheat or whatever. now i see what he meant! this is interesting. either way, expect a bud report within a few days.

Hose, November 13, 2008 - 7:01 AM:
I don't think "Blue Smoothies" has rice in it.

Trav, November 13, 2008 - 8:27 AM:
I would also guess the "Helicopter Shot" doesn't involve any rice. Unless of course you are doing Sake Bombs at the end of it.

Maxx mentioned the 2008-2009 regulations. 

They are also in the FAQ section, but for your reference...
