Winter is for the Active:
Bust Out the Shanty and Tip-Ups

When was the last time you were out on the ice with an auger and fishing pole?

    Yeah, it’s a bit chilly and more work, but we’ll make it a bit easier for you. Our local fishing experts and DNR reps agree that Lake Altoona is the best local spot ice fishing, with good pan fish like perch always biting. Other legit choices include Lake Wissota, Tainter Lake, Lake Eau Claire, and Half Moon Lake (where there’s bluegills a-plenty).
