Many of Wisconsin's lakes are now freezing or frozen over. The best
time of our season for ice fishing is just about here and it is called first ice.
Fish are still putting on fat before the oxygen slips away from the water and
they go into a winter dormancy. Panfish can easily be taken with a yellow hair
jig tipped with a wax worm. Walleye like to feed after dark and can either be
caught with a jig pole or tip ups and a minnow. Northern pike "gators" are
extremely active in December and can make for a very fun day.
Dress in layers, no tight fitting clothes or boots, bring good snacks
and get out there and enjoy the best fishing of the winter. Check out KAMO, maybe
we could help you out!
