Upper (Wilson Hill area) average at around 5" of ice, several people running tip ups and getting several Northerns, most of which being on the smaller side but a few have been taken over 30". Also decent gill fishing, mainly on spikes and tungsten jigs

Slow overall, the cold and rain over the last week has pushed most fish in to the deeper water and made them rather sedentary

The cold and rain has slowed down the bluegill and crappie fishing considerably, there have been a few good reports for walleye in various locations on the cloudier days

Hamlin Lake- Few reports for gills and northerns, still mainly in 15+ feet of water

Some reports for Gills and Crappie in deeper water, averaging 15 to 20 feet of water, Northerns and Largemouth are still being caught in the shallower water near the weedlines and drop offs

Hamlin Lake - Some gill and crappie fishing in 10-20 feet of water, Bass in shallower water and northers near the drop offs.

Was producing some walleye and decent panfish action.

Fishing has been lighter the past several days, but seeing some nice bluegill and smaller perch. We had a good-sized walleye come in around dusk on Wednesday. There's a about 1" of slush on top of around 6" of good ice. Still many people fishing, but biting has slowed down. If the expected nice weather happens this weekend, the catches should start kicking back in again. Hot tackle now is anything with a glow, anglers have switched to using red spikes. Stop into Hamlin Grocery for all your fishing supplies.

Brandon Shinsky landed this monster 46-inch, 28-pound muskie using a seven-tine Wilson spear.

People fishing on the Indian Pete Bayou on Upper Hamlin Lake are catching nice bluegill and small lake perch. At the Narrows, there have been several nice pick caught in the last couple of days, along with some walleye. At Wilson Hill Park, Victory Park, and the old boy scout camp, the bluegill grounds are producing good catches, right up to the limits. Nice bluegill sizes from 8-10". Wednesday this week was a little slow but the pace picked up from Wednesday evening into Thursday with multiple people catching the limit. Please be mindful of the rules about limits as the DNR has been out in full force. The ice is good, about 6 inches or more, with some slushy areas. Quads and sleds have been out this past week. Stop into Hamlin Grocery for your bait and tackle. We have a great supply of new jigs, tungstens, wax rims, spikes, red spikes, and mousies. Live bait includes perch minnows, golden shiners, suckers, blues and decoys.

According to a local fisherman: On Upper Hamlin Lake, the bluegill bite was slow, although there were reports of limit catches last weekend. However, near the end of this particular fishing session, a 24" walleye was caught on a tungsten jig and a red spike 200 yards from Wilson Hill Park in 12 feet of water. So get out, wet a line and enjoy the great outdoors.
