Wisconsin Fishing Steelhead and Brown Trout Report

by Haataja on 01/29/2010

Giant steelehad caught and
released just shy of 20 lbs
We've had some exceptionally large steelhead this past week, but overall the fishing continues to be pretty solid for the most part. Some days we're landing 2-7 fish per trip and other days we landed 14-32 fish per trip. Lots of steelhead this year so far.


Another giant steelhead
The numbers of browns are down a bit this year but overall the steelhead bite continues to be awesome ice fishing!

Still using a varity of baits such as jigs, skein spawn (cured and un cured) minnows, plastics and jigging spoons.

A couple of the bigger trout took over 20 minutes to land which is insane! These fish will test your ice fishing tackle!


Nice brownie caught and
released



Another big brown CPR'd

Nice fish Eric, I got to get back out there, It was painfully slow last time I was out, hoping for some steady action this time.

When you ask the wife if you can go fish - doesn't it feel a lot like asking your mom if you can go play with your friends?

Tired of McDonalds? Try some BK

Eric,

Those are some dandy fish with exceptionally beautiful coloration. I may have to try it when it warms enough to get my little boat out.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day .
