UPDATE ON ICE FISHING
We are fishing the west end of Big Green Lake for Lake Trout.
Our location is great.
On some days, the fish are biting. If you are interested in this type of fishing, now is a good time to try.
We are fishing the east end of Big Green Lake for Lake Trout and Cisco. We can reach 100 feet of water. Action has been slow. Keep in touch--conditions change rapidly.
The Nortons have been guiding on Green Lake for three generations.
Mike Norton's grandfather, Joe, rowed fishermen around the lake and then cooked them a shore lunch on the lake's west end.
Mike's father, Bud, guided fishermen on Green Lake for 58 years. He started the ice shanty business in 1946 and pioneered the pontoon fishing boats.
Mike began his career by guiding anglers on the Fox River. After the death of his father, he took over the Green Lake guiding business. For almost 100 years it has been a family tradition to successfully guide anglers.
