This fall is turning out to be great out here on Lake Onalaska. The bluegills continue their run, with guys reporting a bit more sorting. The perch are coming on really strong, make sure that you are trying for them in shallow water as well as deep. The crappies are living up to their reputation of being finicky fish with the bite varying day to day. As the water temp continues to cool they should be more consistent. Guys who figure out what they want for that particular day are doing extremely well, and other fisherman are reporting they are not able to catch a single crappie. The forecast for the river height has slowly been moving down with the crest predicted to be in the next few days at 9.8 in La Crosse. The nice thing about Lake Onalaska is it is able to absorb a lot of water, and the fishing isn’t significantly impacted until the 10′ mark is passed. Good luck and stop in to get the latest fishing report!
