Put on the sun screen before you head to the Chetek chain of lakes for some fishing With
the nice sunny days in the weather forecast fishermen will be able to soak it in on
the head and facial areas exposed to it and it's glare off the snow
Bluegill and crappie fishing is doing very well for fishermen scattered through out the
chain of lakes Fishermen are finding some good all day action when fishing the shallow
weeds and weed edges with 7-10 ft of water Drilling a few extra holes around you to
move back and forth will also help you follow the schools offish better when they move
through the area Chartreuse or florescent red jigs tipped with a waxie or silver wiggler
seems to be doing the trick for bait
Crappie fishermen have been having some good action in these same areas when
fishing the early morning and evening hours of the days Be ready for some fast action
when they move into your areas Color of bait does not seem to matter, just keep your
bait moving is the key to success
Northern pike fishermen are finding pike while they set tip-ups out and around the areas
where pan fishermen are finding fish Setting your minnow 2- 3 feet off the bottom, is
where most fishermen are finding them feeding Be quick on the trip of your flags as they
are hitting the baits and running with them immediately Shiners are the bait of choice for
fishermen on their tip-ups Be ready, they will run back at you after they run line out to
where you think you've missed them
Walleye fishermen are catching some eaters and occasionally a lunker when putting in
some late night hours waiting for them to feed along the shallow weed edges for food
Small shiners seem to be working for the fishermen Be ready for an occasional northern
pike hitting your tip-up while they cruise through the area, also feeding.
