I was fortunate enough to get out with friends and family for some tipup fishing for walleye on the Chip. We caught some really nice ones but not numbers. In four nights of fishing we caught 14 walleyes with the largest being four mid twenty inch fish. We didn't fish the best spots at dark which is when most of the walleye action was. We fished more convenient spots right in front of our friends house than good fish catching spots. I sure wish you could fish walleyes all year on the Chip. Sure would make ice fishing more fun. We had five to seven inches of ice on all the main lake areas except the Chief Lake area.
