Whisler Outdoors in Florence, Wis., has been getting a rush of anglers wanting to fish the last couple of days of the season for walleye and northern pike on inland waters.

“We’ve received a few reports of some nice northern and a few walleye measuring up to 23 inches,” said Fay Whisler.

Those seeking panfish have been having some luck. “The bluegill bite has been very good,” Whisler said. “Anglers have been catching their limit jigging with waxies and spikes. Crappies have been hitting on minnows and plastics. Some good perch action has also been reported with minnows and wigglers producing a good bite.”

With more snow to work with, Tri-County Snowmobile Club hopes to keep trails open to the end of the month. The club’s next meeting is 6 p.m. Tuesday at Waucedah Township Hall in Loretto.

At travelwisconsin.com, conditions in Florence County were listed as poor due to icy and deteriorated trails. Blue Ox Trail Riders will meet at 6 p.m. Monday at the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center in Florence.
