| No one talking about this? Any reports around minocqua? Water temps? Still spawning? Weather has been pretty consitent so hoping this year they are finally all spawned out and hungry. Any insight will help me sleep better. Thx |

Location: MN | Weather has in my opinion not been stable in northern wi. Water temps 58-59 degrees in the lakes I was on. No clue on anything else. I will say all my fish caught when walleye fishing were in 20ft and on the bottom. Was expecting in 8-12. But cold pushed all fish deep... Walleye northern and bass. |

| I'd be pretty happy with 59. The door is at least open |

Location: Central Wisconsin | My Dad and I fished a lake near Lac du Flambeau on Friday, caught seven throwing x-raps, flat raps and bass spinnerbaits, along shore (2'-4') and on weed beds (6'-8') fishing for bass/walleye. Later that evening, they were harassing us while fishing jigs n minnows for walleye. One took the jigs (lost it) and another took a walleye (eventually let go). All fish were scarred up and appeared to be done spawning. |

| Lots of guides have been catching them fishing for other species also. Saw some pics taken today on the Menomonee river of active pairs |

Location: Stanley, WI | Got out on a border water for a few hours this past Saturday. Surface temps were 53-55 at 7 am and were 57-59 at noon. Caught one and had another follow, heard of several other fish being caught/missed on other waters as well. I didn't even have to downsize, big baits were catching fish.

| Looks like some frost this morning... Is this going to set them back? How deterrent is this to the progress of spawning to post spawn when there is a day or 2 that is much colder than previous? Later in the week it's suppossed to get back up to 70. How quickly to muskies respond to such drastic weather changes? |

Location: Manitowish Waters WI | Not stable at all. Water temps are swinging 8-10 degrees on any given 3 day stretch. Snow this morning, not warming up terribly fast for the weekend either. Saw fish active and eating crappies over 12ft of weeds last weekend but it was tshirt weather. The weather mystery and fish patterns have been unpredictable for time of the year. I have not seen a cruising pair in Vilas County in the past two weeks so I would say the spawn if probably well over. I could be wrong. |

31F and snow here this morning. I've only seen one fish cruising the shallows and this was the first spring so far I haven't had one take a crappie or walleye while I was reeling it in. As others have posted, we really need some stable weather or it's going to be a crapshoot. |
