Yesterday the few out fishing did pretty good.  Both deeper transitions and shallow reefs. It shows what a weather change can do when they are well fed with baitfish. The next few days we will see some nicer temps for a couple more days then our usual strong SW wind followed by a NW wind […] The post February 8th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ic...

Fishermen had mixed results over the weekend.  From poor to fair fishing were the reports coming in at the office yesterday.  Many anglers were seeing Walleye on their cameras or just looking down the holes but getting them to bite was a challenge.  Saturday between the weather changes in late afternoon was the best bite […] The post February 7th...

Overnight we received a half inch of snow and this morning the SE wind is blowing 10-20 mph Some of the rental anglers in shallower caught C/R Walleye but few and far between. Hopefully the weather changes help the bite over the weekend. There will be some drifitng in areas farther out but should not […] The post February 5th 2022 first appeared o...

The high barometer really slowed the bite down yesterday.  Mostly just small Perch action. with the abundance of food sources this year the Walleye are not biting like they have over the last few winters. Fishermen will have to be more creative on presentation to improve their catch.  Those that have are doing better in […] The post February 4th 2...

Yesterday the reports from anglers was that it was pretty quiet. Lots of small Perch in some areas with some decent keepers mixed in.  Small Walleyes and a few in the harvest slot were reported. We moved some more rentals to new spots and are plowing out new wheelhouse spots for the weekend. Traditional over […] The post February 3rd 2022 first ap...

For the few out there yesterday the bite was pretty slow. The high winds kept fishermen inside out of the weather. From what reports we received it was mainly Perch action with small Walleye mixed in. We had strong W-N/W most of the day with some drifting but the roads blew mostly completely clear. Today […] The post February 2nd 2022 first appear...

Monday was a pretty good day for some that stayed over from the weekend out there. One wheelhouse customer mentioned on his way off that they started late Sunday eve and were still going at noon when he left as well as a couple others.  With the warm temps quite a few portable fishermen showed […] The post February 1st 2022 first appeared on Lybac...

Over the weekend I would say overall it was pretty slow for most.  The highlight was that the weather made it nice to be out there.  Some anglers did OK and most of them were on the shallower reefs.  Some nice C/R Walleye pictures were sent in so there was still some activity. For the […] The post January 31st 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice F...

Yesterday the bite was overall pretty quite for most. The better catches were Friday evening before daybreak.  Some of the deeper areas were starting to see more Perch action than the last few days so I’m thinking some are looking deeper for a food source.  But still there are literally thousands of small  4″-6″ Perch […] The post January 30th 202...

Yesterday I started receiving more C/R pictures so the bite must have picked up for some.  Deep water and shallow produced in some spots.  The tops and sides of reefs were covered with small Perch from the pictures I received also.  To put it plainly the Walleye are eating well. The weather is staying calm […] The post January 29th 2022 first appe...

Fishermen yesterday had mixed reports.  Areas where there were alot of Perch on the camera’s had Walleye action though most small ones. Some deeper rock areas were slower. I only received a few C/R pics Those with cameras were seeing them but hard to get them to bite. With the extreme water clarity we have […] The post January 28th 2022 first appe...

Not to much to report on the bite. With the strong south winds of yesterday the few that were out hunkered down and I did not recieve many reports.  Checking with the rentals the bite was slow They were down there on the camera’s but not cooperating was one anglers comment.  Recieved a couple pictures […] The post January 27th 2022 first appeared...

Got a late start on the report this am..  Not much to report except it is cold and barometer is high =  a slow bite. Temps are going to warm up the next couple days then cool back down and remain fairly stable over the weekend by the last forecasts I seen. We have one […] The post January 26th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

Not many anglers out but the few that were did really well.  One fishermen sent me 5 pictures of C/R Walleye from 19″ to 22-1/2″  from early morning to noon in 16 feet of water Another fishermen C/R seven Walleye 18″-23″.  For whatever reason yesterday the bite in the morning was good. We are moving […] The post January 25th 2022 first appeared on...

I stayed in the office yesterday and met anglers as they were leaving to hear how they did. Fishing was slow for some some caught Walleye which some were in the slot. And a few did well with numbers of Walleye.  Overall is was a slower weekend for the bite but with all the back […] The post January 24th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

Yesterday the bite for the most part was pretty quiet for most. Lots of small Perch action some Walleyes. But much more spotty and random. There were some nice catches for some but compared to most what it has been I would say it was slow which can happen when we have such ups and […] The post January 23rd 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishi...

Yesterday the fishing reports were mixed by the end of the day with some C/R Walleye reported and Perch action. Today with everyone out there we’ll see who did what. With the weather changes we are having back and forth the next couple day it will be interesting to see what happens. The strong south […] The post January 22nd 2022 first appeared on...

Yesterday’s high barometer did not help the bite very much for most angler’s out there. Very few reports from the few that were out there with the cold. With the up and downs of weather and wind switches this weekend who knows when they will bite. It will be a windy weekend out there until […] The post January 21st 2022 first appeared on Lyback's...
