Looking for anyone that can help me out with some honest advice on lake conditions for the western basin. I have tried to call several bait shops and charters and have been told everything from "come down now" too "wait a week". I will be driving from Milwaukee WI with boat ( 8+ hrs) and looking to stay for up to 5 days next week. I am looking to fish some of the reefs and get in on some of the hair jig bite, but I am also set up for any kind of trolling. I just need to know if the water is clearing up or clear enough or need a couple days, anything. This is a big trip for me and I just want to try to make a good decision or wait till next year, if it is just a off year for the weather. Have already passed up on two weeks, looks like weather has been bad, next week is my last chance.

Would be willing to give you years worth of advice if you or any one you know wanted to fish out of Milwaukee for trout/salmson.


Thanks, Ben
