Upper Peninsula

• Overall: No ice on the inland lakes yet, but temperatures have been steady in the 20’s and night temperatures will continue to be in the 20’s in the extended forecast.

• Portage Lake: A few brave anglers had caught some walleye.

• Little Bay De Noc: Had walleye and perch anglers. Walleye catches were fair to good with some limits reported. Most were trolling stick baits from the “Narrows” north to the Center Reef in 35 feet. Those jigging in the shallow weedy areas in seven to eight feet also had success. A lot of baitfish were reported throughout the area and the fish being caught are big and healthy. Some were still night fishing however with the good bite during the day, most were not. Perch anglers reported spotty catch rates with the best action around Butler Island and along the east bank by Vagabond Resort with minnows in 14 to 30 feet.

• Manistique Lake: Anglers caught perch in the big lake.

• Two Hearted River: Luce County has received several inches of snow over the past week which will make navigation near the river difficult. Steelhead reports have been spotty with a few fish being picked up here and there. Most anglers are targeting fish down near the mouth. Those using small worms with a sinker caught Menominee near the mouth.
