Machickanee Flowage Fishing Reports

The Hardings had fished here the last day, hoping to find the water’s best panfish action, however had not succeeded. Slow, Harding said when asked how they did. We were in about 7 feet of water and could see fish on our Lowrance fish-finder, but they would not bite. They’d come up and bump our bait — our line could rise up — but we could not catch them. We will move closer to the dam and attempt 10 feet of water. Some guys think it is better there. (host.madison.com)

Second place team, Alix and Wayne, were one of the teams stuck to their original plan bringing in 12. 35lbs. They ran up river with not much luck and returned to the major lake. We started with big clumps of lonely weed patches, then switched to punch the floating mats. We were using 1 1/4 oz jigs with a beaver rear as a trailer. We noticed that darker colors worked best, said Alix, The bite was like nothing I have experienced before. When you had a bite, all you feel is your line pulling away. After acquiring four keepers in the thick mats and with less than half an hour till weigh-in, they decided to work an opening patch using a Booyah Pad Crasher popper frog. (hasc.club)

Winter fish die-offs caused by long periods of heavy ice and snow cover on small waters are called winterkills. Winterkill is instigated when pervasive ice forms a surface barrier between the water and air that prevents circulation of oxygen and blocks sunlight. If these conditions continue long enough, the oxygen fish have to survive can be depleted and result in some or all of the fish suffocating. Missing sunlight, plants stop making oxygen and sooner or later start to use it as they die and decompose. (wcsfo.blogspot.com)

Now we walked down the road aways back towards the highway.   This bridge is maintained by the local snowmobile club and the landing beside it’s a place to launch canoes and kayaks.   We can float from here all the way to our house, about five miles, or go another five miles beyond right into Oconto.   some miles past that and you’ll find yourself in the waters of Green Bay.   Keep floating and you’re into Lake Michigan.
