Hey Tony,

With the population of walleyes struggling on the Chippewa Flowage, the DNR closes the season after Dec.1. We are in the process of rehabilitating the population of walleyes with the extended growth walleye stocking, lowering of the water in winter, and looks like we will have a size limit in place if not this year, next year. All this in combination will hopefully bring the population up where we can have an ice fishing season on them.

In the mean time, the crappie fishing is fantastic and if you look at a few sites you will see impressive catches of northern pike, I mean big honkers! Lots of bass in certain places and even heard reports of walleyes being caught by crappie fishermen and released quickly. You like the Big Chip in summer, You'll love the ice fishing opportunities too. And just for Larry's birthday, if you two come up for a few days, I'll try to get out there with you guys and we'll see if we can't hook some crappies. Oh. by the way, Larry just had a birthday last year about this time. What's he doing having another one? Good to hear from you Tony.
