Western WI Get Together
«
on:
Dec 13, 2016, 12:43 PM »
I know we did this a few years back but was kinda limited due to warm Temps. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in going out and giving it a try again. Thinking early January for a date. Not sure on lakes but I've liked the chetek chain last few years. Really open on suggestions to figure something out.

Long lake in Washburn county just east of Sarona. I heard it was always good crappie fishing, and I guess walleye are starting to make a come back. I guess the lake totally iced over last Friday. Anyway I always wanted to try ice fishing out there. They say there is good crappie fishing by the narrows? That would be the boat landing on the north end off B.

Chetak Chain is way better than Long. Long needs another 2-3 years.

I would be interested in meeting up on Chetek chain. I am there most weekends. I'm can't really travel anywhere else for fishing, so if you end up in Chetek, I'll try to be there.

I believe that every weekend in January is open, so I have been waiting to see what works for everyone else.

Saturday the 7th chetek chain sound good to everyone? I've fished it a few times and have had decent success but if anyone has some spots they wouldn't mind sharing that would be good too.

I think I will be around on the 7th. If people want easy access, there is a public landing on Lake Chetek right by the airport. People fish out there a fair amount. I have only fished those spots a few times catching a mixed bag of perch, gills and crappies...

Well since it's going to be pretty chilly on Saturday anyone down to change this to say a weekend in late February? Usually a little warmeet and be able to access most of the lake by vehicle. Just a suggestion. As much as I love ice fishing I'm not the type to sit in a shack while it's freezing out.

Last weekend in February is good for me. Usually real good ice, little longer days, and maybe nice temperature.

Let's try this again!
I know that for the last couple years we haven't been able to get a date, or lake to fish.
What are all of your thoughts regarding date, and location. Speaking only for myself, I am willing to travel farther north if that works for everyone.
Polk Co, Rice Lake, Hayward area, Turtle Flambeau Flowage, Chetek area, Miller Dam Flowage, or any and all suggestions.
Let's make this happen this season.

I'd be in!
As long as I'm free any of those locations would work for me, I usually travel 1-2 hours to fish anyways. As of now, I have a trip planned for new years and January 12-14 but am otherwise free.
If the cold keeps up, maybe a mid December trip would be doable. Wouldn't be able to drive vehicles but ATVs and foot traffic should be realistic.
Lets make it happen!

The last get together was in Chetek on Prairie lake. If memory serves, it was the first Saturday of December. The ice was very sketchy, and we had drizzle that day. In fact we quit early due to concerns about ice conditions. The turnout was decent, but may have been better in a different location.
While the weather is looking promising, let's wait until after Thanksgiving to set a date, that way it will give us a better look at the weather and ice conditions. Hopefully we will have had a successful deer season, and also have an opportunity to get on the ice.
As far as location, let's get 3-5 lakes as suggestions, and then we can vote on it.

At the last get together on Prairie Lake, I drove to the Veterans Park with intentions of joining the fun but the ice conditions, and rain sent me home. I agree that the get together should be a little later, maybe the first weekend after new year's. That way the ice should be really good, and atv's and snowmobiles should be safe.
I would definitely be in if the get together is on the Chetek chain. If it is somewhere else I would be 50-50, just depends on family and other commitments.
Hope it happens this year. Looking forward to meeting people.

I would be open to driving up somewhere if there is enough notice. I'm sure my wife would be with, but she enjoys ice fishing more than open water fishing
