2 50" class fish released in our area in the last week and a half? You bet! The musky fishing continues to be very good on the river system, and big fish are showing up to crush baits too. A variety of lures and techniques are working for us right now, making for an exciting and diverse experience. If you haven't had a chance to explore the vast esox paradise that is the WI River system, now is as good a time as any!

Tight lines,

I think it is about time to report on this body of water. The WI River has given up a decent (16) amount of fish for me this year. No monsters in the boat (1 biggun' misssed, UUGGHH!!!) but quality fishing nonetheless. The water level is down quite a bit, as it is everywhere I am sure. The cooler nights have brought the water temps down to a much safer range than a couple of weeks ago (low to mid eighties) and the action has ben pretty consistent throughout.

As far as being a "Vast esox paradise," I suppose any water that has muskies in it that's 5 minutes from the couch to the boat ramp is paradise in my book!
