Hi, I haven't been posting much this year but now that the 4th weekend is near I will.
Weather has been slowing the fishing down lots of wind and rain.
The reports on facebook, Houghton lake fishermen, most people are catching fish
mostly pan fish and bass walleye limits are few but serious fishermen are doing fair.
I think the DNR should look into a replanting program as the number of small eyes
caught has dropped in the past two years.

1/31/17 report
Snowy day after a good weekend. Tip up town was very busy the fish board was full, nice catches of pike and pan fish were displayed. We still have 12 to 14 in of ice but you must watch for pressure cracks. The key to fishing is to find 9 to 10 ft drop off with weeds, there is no problem catching fish.
Be safe have fun. The largest walleye caught were 28 in. and 29 in.
