Hit the chain this morning, man was it COLD! I had 5 below in the Envoy before driving out, where the temp dropped to -13. There was a god 2 feet of ice. Fish bit right away. Easily caught over 50 in just over 3 hours. Only kept 10, as they seemed to be running small. Will be back soon, hopefully on a much WARMER day!
Where on the chain were you fishing? I have a friend who lives and fishes on Prairie south of the Wolf's Den. He said the fish have been running small lately.
Went out again this afternoon. Didn't make it out til almost 4. Caught probably 50 gills and crappies, they shut right off at about 5:30. Once again, you were sorting for keepers, but all in all, a very good time!
Back on the chain today from 9am til about 1:30. Really cold and windy. Stayed warm and cozy inside the shack. The gills weren't quite as active as last night with this front, but finally got em to start biting, and they bit well. Ended up keeping 7. Really would have liked to stay and keep fishing, but having to drive back to Chippewa Falls, with that wind cranking, and the snow coming down, wanted to get going before the roads got too bad. Sounds like it is gonna be cold the rest of the week.
