Wisconsin River, Wisconsin - Freshwater Fishing Report
Wisconsin River - Wausau area
Another beautiful weekend again found the smallmouth bass biting. Fellow guide Joe Szarkowitz and I spent Saturday morning showing local writer Amy Ryan the local water. We scored on some dandy smallies as well as a few bonus walleyes; look for the pictures and story as part of the opening weekend of fishing season feature in the upcoming Everest Herald.
Tubes such as the 3" Pro Select series were working well as were lipless style crankbaits again; the PT Pro Rattlers were on fire and produced the biggest smallies as well as all the walleyes and a few pike. Water temperatures were in the 57-60 degree range and with the forecast, should continue to slowly climb. As the weeds start growing and greening, look for the pike bite to get good. Crappie action will also start to pick up shallow before too long.
Tight lines,
Joel DeBoer

Bio: Greetings and welcome to the Northwoods! My name is Joel DeBoer; I grew up fishing the waters of Central and Northern Wisconsin and enjoying the beauty of Wisconsin’s outdoors - I can guarantee you will enjoy them as well! As owner of Wisconsin Angling Adventures, I'll work hard to keep you on the fish and show you a good time out on the water! Through countless days and nights on the water, I have worked hard to uncover local "hotspots" while prefecting the techniques necessary to produce trophy fish from them. I have been an active member of Muskies Inc. and Bill’s Musky Club, and am responsible for numerous awards for muskies caught and released by my clients as well as myself. In addition to guiding, I am an active musky tournament fisherman, having multiple Top 10 finishes. Not only do I fish tournaments for muskies, but a variety of local tournaments for walleyes and bass. I am active on the internet - providing articles and fishing reports to over 15 different web sites, in addition to doing web-radio shows. I am a published outdoor author and educator, including my weekly column, "The Guides Corner" in the Everest Herald. I specialize in multi-media presentations and seminars on the vast aspects of musky fishing. Please feel free to email me, at ANY time. In addition, take an opportunity to visit my bio pages at the St. Croix Rod or VMC Hooks Pro-Staff pages as a further reference.
