March came in like a lamb this year and certainly appears to
be headed out like a lion but that’s not stopping me from posting my first
fishing report of the year. This week’s storm which hammered central Wisconsin
left the U.P. unscathed as nary a flake of snow fell Wednesday and Thursday.
Depending upon where you are, rivers are flowing clear or still iced up. Along
the shores of Lake Superior (where I had hoped to fish), some rivers are still ice covered (or filled with
chunks) and there is significant snow to melt. Farther inland, rivers have
dropped after last week’s flushing and some are running clear. Getting to the rivers that are fishable is a real challenge as steeper slopes are ice covered and gravel roads are impassable due to the frost coming out of the ground. There is also still
some snow to melt, but at least one can imagine that we will be able to fish
opening weekend next month. If you are thinking about booking a trip with the U.P. Fly Angler, there is
still time as I have dates left in July and August.
