Ice Fishing - Hayward,
Wisconsin
While
as a sport, ice fishing has been around almost forever,
it really has changed over the last decade. Both in
popularity, and how and where we fish. Much of this
is probably due to more knowledge on it available and
far better equipment available. Not only have we seen
tremendous changes in tackle, but also we now have high
tech winter clothing and portable ice shelters available
to us that makes it actually quite comfortable being
out there on the ice even in the worst of weather.
Because of the increase in popularity
many lakes are seeing increased winter fishing pressure
and more crowding. Not so on most of the lakes here
in the Hayward Wisconsin area.
While you can and do see quite a few out
the ice fishing on some of our lakes, on many more you're
lucky to see another angler out there on any given day,
much less a crowd! So why, if you are heading out on
a winter fishing trip, would you want to head for one
of those lakes where you will find roads plowed on the
ice and literally small towns of ice shacks when there
are other choices? No crowds and great fishing, sounds
good doesn't it?
Here on Moose lake East of Hayward, you will find very
little ice fishing pressure and yet there is good winter
fishing for walleyes, crappies, perch, and panfish.
Lodging is available in the winter at 3 resorts on Moose
lake as is winter guide service.
Then too there are many other waters right in this
area that provide great ice fishing. Just a few of the
more popular ones are Teal, Lost Land, Ghost, Spider,
Twin lakes, Grindstone, Lac Courte Oreilles, and Big
Round. But you can also find good fishing and you likely
will be the only one out there on many other smaller
waters right around here too.
While
the walleye season opens the first weekend in May there's
also good fishing even before that!! Up in the West
fork of the Chippewa river up from the resort and out
on Moose lake, from ice out around mid April all through
May you Can find good action from panfish, smallmouth
bass, suckers, and perch. Then from the opener on, walleye
action is good, especially early up in the river.
In fact right around the opener often
some of the best walleye fishing in the area is in the
West Fork of the river. Both Moose lake and the West
fork are top walleye and musky fisheries, and over the
last few years the Smallmouth Bass fishing has been
great too!! Now we are seeing more smallies and quite
a few of them running up to 5 or 6 pounds and even more.
From our docks you can fish out on the
lake or motor a mile and a half up the river or we offer
canoe rentals and shuttle service to up river drop off
points where you can float and fish your way back to
the resort. At the lodge we offer snacks as well as
bait and misc tackle and guide service.
In the Winter you will find good ice fishing
for walleyes, crappies, and panfish on Moose lake and
surrounding waters too. And best of all we are offering
a 25% discount during the early season.
YES your eyes are seeing right, I said
a 25% discount on lodging
from Feb 15th up till just before the Memorial weekend
in May then also from mid October to December 15th,
with the exception of during the 9 day gun deer season,
for fall fishing and hunting.
