Their moto is: "River Rock - Its Where the Fishermen Shop" Booking Permanent Fish House Rentals - HERE 2-07-12 FYI - Lake Trout University has been cancelled due to lack of ice!! We are still running trips everyday on the ice we have, as it is still good ice. Also, still running our fish houses on a daily basis. We have dates available - so give us a call for openings. Just like the all this winter, things are changing once again. A total week with above freezing temps during the day and now N to NE winds with strong W winds coming behind have taken out quite a bit of ice around the Bayfield to the Sioux River area. Actually, it is blue water all the way through this area and through the south channel. Also, a commercial fish tug came down through the good ice we did have through the North Channel yesterday, separating Madeline and Basswood Island. So, we have to be extra careful out there right now. Best ice is from Houghton Point and south into the Bay. A foot to a bit more down in the bay and over into Second Landing.. 8 to 10 inches from Washburn north. But, have to pay attention to cracks and the alike, especially with any wind action. Also, not much for snow left on the ice, so if your running snowmobiles, bring some dish soap for your slides. Fishing wise, trout species are still being found in the shallower water, throughout the area we have ice, 30 feet or less seems to be the ticket, most days we are finding fish in 20 or less. Jigging and tip-ups are working good. Quite a few coho around from Washburn up to Houghton Point - in both shallower water and deeper water. Most likely due to the fact most of the smelt you can find are in this area, which folks are also catching. Perch catches took a dive a bit the past few days off Second Landing, but should pick back up again. Remember late Feb into Mid March is the best time frame (keep an eye out for some great trips for these as the time nears). Whitefish have also been good, in deeper water mid-way to Houghton Point and out towards Long Island. In the bay itself, hit or miss right now, but folks are still finding a mixed bag of fish to catch, mainly out by the Lighthouse. Inland waters are seeing anywhere from 12 to 15 inches of ice. Vehicle travel is happening on most lakes now, but do becareful, remember some lakes froze later then others. Overall, fishing has been great. Seems like clear to semi-clear lakes the majority of fish are still in weed pockets and on stained lakes, fish are in transition - and now just coming to the basin (especially PanFish). Walleyes have definately been a early morning or evening bite, but the bite has been good, due to the lack of snow cover!! Also, we have been running our rentals, daily. Check the video above to see what we have available out here. Our Sleeper Shack has been a hit and we have added a Permanent Rental to our fleet. It is a 4 man shelter will be set out in efforts to putting JUMBO PERCH and mixed bag Chequamegon Bay species on the ice. Rates for the day house are $150.00 for the day (up to 4 anglers), that includes heat and pre-drilled holes. Transportation to and from and Rod/Reel Combos are an addition cost. With rentals in mind, we will also be renting out ice equipment to those who may not want to pack any equipment, might be here on vacation, or are new to the sport and want to try it first before spending thousands of dollars on their own equipment. We will have One Man Fish Trap portable shelters with heaters, Two Man Fish Trap portable shelters with heaters, Vexilars, StrikeMaster augers, Rod and Reel Combos and small tackle boxes for rent. We will have pick-up in Bayfield and at River Rock Inn and Bait Shop. Check it out - ICE FISHING EQUIPMENT RENTAL For our teaching portion of our services, we will be going on our 5th season with LRN2FISH and our dedication to teaching our passion of ice fishing to folks across the ice belt.
