Fishing Report: December 21, 2020
The first weekend of ice fishing this season is in the books. A few guys started creeping out on Wednesday trying to catch some of that first ice magic.

January 13, 2020: Fishing Report
The weather this past weekend wasn’t filled with as much doom and gloom as it was hyped up to be. A little bit of rain and a few inches of snow was the worst of it here. It didn’t hurt the ice any, and we’re in much better shape afterwards. Lake Mitchell has from 6-9″ […]
