Outdoor/Fishing Report for Park Falls, Wisconsin, for Week of
In the Park Falls area, good numbers of mid-40s musky are being taken both on the Flambeau River and in the lakes. As the water has warmed, the action for bigger musky has dramatically increased. Use asmall to medium bucktail or crankbait, and keep your lure action slow. The musky are still not responding to rapid retrieves, with "rolling," follows and short strikes the rule for impatient anglers. Walleye are hitting on leeches and crawlers. Minnows are not working well. Fish the lakes along the shallow weed edges, and in the Flambeau River fish the deeper holes, 12 to 19 feet. Average sized fryers, but excellent numbers. The evening bite is best. Lots of real big slab crappies are hitting in the weeds, 5 to 7 feet of water on minnows or Beetle Spins. Excellent action. Limits of bull gills in the 10 inch range are very common in the shallows. Use waxies or worms, with anglers going for crappie nailing bull gills on Beetle Spins. Good smallie action in the shallows using Berkley Power Baits or a Beetle Spins. All catch-and-release, as season is closed. Cats in the 25 to 30 inch range hitting in the shallow warm areas of the Flambeau River on live suckers or freshly cut-up suckers. Large numbers of trout (browns, brookies and bows) in the 12 to 14 inch
You'll get some decent sized perch, but mainly while fishing for walleye or crappie. The perch are scattered. Forget northern. Very little action. There are not great numbers of northern in the Park Falls area, with warm weather action fairly slow and insignificant. Outdoor/Fishing Report for Park Falls, Wisconsin, for Week of June 5, 2000 In the Park Falls area, musky action is excellent. Lots and lots of smaller musky, between 27 and 36 inches being taken in the shallows, using smaller surface lures. The bigger musky are just following, but not real active right now. A 51 1/4 incher was taken on the Flambeau River, so the bigger musky are around, but they need warmer weather to become more active. Sorry to report that the 51 1/4 incher was not released. Most all musky anglers in the Park Falls area normally release their musky after taking a photo. Some big walleye are being caught on the Flambeau River in the wood. fish 5 to 12 feet of water. On the lakes fish around the weed edges in 5 to 12 feet of water. Jig vertically with a minnow. The lake walleye tend to be average fryers, and smaller than those caught on the Flambeau. Decent, but not great action for walleye right now, wherever you fish. Slab crappies to 15 inches plus are being caught in the shallow weeds on minnows. The action is not bang/bang, but what you'll get will be "primo." Smallies of average size are being taken in the shallows on the lakes, with the Flambeau having slowed way down. Leeches and floating crank baits working best. Gills in the 9 to 10 inch range are hitting real well in the shallows. Use worms or waxies. Cats are hitting hard below the dams on the Flambeau River. Use suckers. The cats are going into the upper 20s. Northern, curiously, are real slow. Only area in northern Wisconsin
where the northern are not hitting big-time. Perch are
also "zero," right now.
