Kid-Friendly Fishing Trip on Forest County Lakes

Fishing has been good the last couple days! 
Walleyes were caught on a 13’ hump with rocks and weeds adjacent to deep water. Leeches and slip bobbers have been a deadly combo thrown down wind. Crappies bit on minnows and hair jigs suspended over weed edges.
