  No, you don't have to get your long johns on.  A pair of shorts and a light rain suit to block the wind is all you will need to keep the morning chill off you, when fishing in the early mornings coming up.  This cold front will push the fish to some deeper water, bluegill fishermen are having good success drifting in 8-11 ft. of water with worms and waxies for bait. If you can find a nice weed edge to drift along that is a plus.
 
  Walleye s are  occasionally being caught along some of the same  weed lines while trolling in the early morning hours and early evening hours of the day.  Trolling  walleye spinner rigs tipped with a fat head minnow along some of the steep shore lines can also get you a walleye or two.
 
  Northern pike have been very active through out the Chetek chain of lakes. With the first crop of weeds dying on the chain, Fishermen are able to fish a  lot of water you could not get a bait through two weeks ago.  Try fishing a silver minnow or a spinner bait above and through the sparse weeds left in some of the bays. Try fishing a dare devil  with some erratic motion.  An  orange or red trailer attached to your bait is another good enticement for  for pike.
 
Crappies are being caught while drifting the deeper parts of the chain.  Vertical jigging your favorite crappie jig with a crappie minnow at various depths  in the deep waters in the middle of the lakes.  You might even catch a walleye once in a while too.
 
  The Bass fishing has just been great for the bass fishermen.  Plenty of 2-3 lb fish are being caught all over the chain. They are in the shallows, the deep water and in the weeds.  Texas rigged worms have been working great for the novice fishermen fishing the Chain of lakes. You may get a few northern pike bites  while fishing this set up,also.
 
   Happy independence day to all. And please say "thank you" to to a veteran when your paths cross.  Please, remember the ones that are fighting for freedom at this time.  Have safe 4th of July, 2009.

  Boaters, please remember the 100 ft. from shore, no wake rule, that is being enforced by D.N.R . and County Officials patrolling the waters of the Chetek chain of lakes and other lakes of Barron Co. for the summer. They are giving no warnings. You get a hefty fine, right on the spot.
 
   Keep your rod tip up and good luck fishing.  
 

Thank you, from Steve at Up-der North Guide service.
