Fishing Report

Delavan Lake Report: the lake has finally reached 60+ degrees which has seemed to take forever this year. Many of the large-mouth bass have spawned; many are spawning with fish in between. Fishing 6-8 feet of water has been productive. Crappies have been biting excellent with limits coming every day in a matter of minutes it seems......fish every cast.  Northern Pike have been biting consistently on large minnows in 12-20 feet of water. Walleyes have been biting in the first and last two hours of the day.....with a few coming during the day fishing anywhere from 3-25 feet of water depending on whether it is sunny or overcast.  Small-mouth bass were up spawning on beds a week ago and most of the fish have moved to the first break-line in 12-17 feet of water. Bluegills are staging in 10-20 feet of water full of eggs ready to spawn. As we reach 70 degrees in the shallows the bluegills should be spawning very soon.
