Fishing Report
May 28, 2013
Fishing continues to do well. Jig and a shiner is the bait of choice. Wolf, Cass, Winnie, Pike Bay, are all reporting 8 ro 10 feet.
Weather is still on the cool side, but fish are biting and everyone is having a good time.
See you out on the water.
Good fishing!

Fishing Report
May 21, 2013
Fishing seems to have slowed down with the cooler weather we had yesterday and today. I know we needed the rain, but a little sunshine would sure be nice right about now.
We are hoping to get more shiners in for the weekend, but it all depends on the weather. A little warmer weather and some sunshine will make a big difference in the trapping. We do have shiners in the store, but hope to have a bigger supply for the holiday weekend coming up. We will try to keep you informed.
The majority of the walleye are still being caught shallow with a jig and a minnow.
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.
See you out on the water.
Good fishing!

Fishing Report
May 18, 2013
Well, this was more like an opening weekend at the store. Shiners and rainbows have been the minnow of choice. We are hearing fish are still shallow, about 5 to 8 feet, with a few being caught as deep as 24 feet. I think everyone was just glad to get out on the open water. I guess we will have summer!
Thanks for stopping by at Froggy's.
See you on the water.

Ice Conditions
May 13, 2013
Little Wolf, Midge, Steamboat are all completely open and with the wind and warm day coming tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if the bigger lakes will be real close to ice out also. I would say everything should be open by this weekend. There really is going to be a summer!

Fishing Report
May 11, 2013
It was a very poor opener, with ice on the lakes and the major rivers closed. It was really cold and windy too today. There were very people up fishing and we did not hear any good reports. It is just too cold for the fish to bite yet. The wind did help with the ice melt today though. Little Wold looks like it will be open tomorrow and Midge Lake opened up too.
Froggy said Allen's Bay on Cass is starting to open up and we are hopint that by next weekend, most or all of the ice should be gone. Temps are suppose to really improve this week also.
Hand in there, we will have open water eventually!
Thanks for the calls. We try to keep you as informed as we can and thanks to those guys who braved it up north this weekend, for stopping in at Froggy's.

River closure
May 9, 2013
The Mississippi River is closed from the Power Dam to Wolf Lake, through May 17th. Go to the DNR site and see additional river closures as well. We have been told leeches should be trapping in about 4 to 5 days, as soon as the water temp warms up some. We're off to a slow start, but we will do the best we can. Mother Nature holds the controls.

Fishing Opener
May 8, 2013
The small ponds are opening up and lake ice is open aboout 20 feet in some places and where the rivers go in and out. Sorry to say it doesn't look like ice will be out for the opener this weekend, unless some unforseen miracle happens.
We have been trying to get an answer from DNR regarding river closures and were told to check their website and listen to the news, regarding any river closure decisions.
Naturally, minnow trapping has been another issue. After checking with several trappers, looks like we will have crappy and fathead minnows, also light northern and then crawlers and wax worms. Haven't been able to round up spot tail shiners, or shiners of any kind and also no luck on rainbows yet. This is just a real tough opener.
I would hope in a week or ten days, everything should be open and we will all be back in business.
Wish we had better news for you, but hope if you are up in the area you will stop by, pick up some bait and maybe try fishing from shore or open bays on smaller lakes.
Give us a call if you have any questions. Hope to see you this weekend.
Good fishing!

Ice Conditions
May 4, 2013
The last few cool days has not helped to melt any ice on the lakes. Talked to Mark, DNR today and he said they are having a meeting the beginning of the week to see if they will be closing any rivers in the area, to fishing. We will let you know any information we get. Sounds like Monday will be warmer, but as far as complete ice out on area lakes, it looks kind of doubtful.
Will let you know any new information as we get it.
