Fishing Bites Vary as Storms Slow Weekend Activity
Local anglers report slow action around La Crosse after severe weekend storms dirtying waters and limiting catches. Some boats still find striped bass catfish and crappies while others see bass and northern pike activity. Regional DNR notes scattered success across lakes and rivers, with panfish and coho reported in several areas. Detected larger fish like a 23-pound northern were landed near Bemidji, Minnesota.
