Kevin Millard talks hunting and fishing in the La Crosse WI area woods and rivers.

WKTY OUTDOORS

WKTY Outdoors has been on the air Saturday mornings for over 20 years.  The program, hosted by Kevin Millard, is a live broadcast of fishing tips directly from avid sportsmen.  You'll hear local experts right from the water.  National anglers will be interviewed about live bait versus lure presentation, techniques, technology and more.  Listeners can seek timely advice or offer suggestions based on the changing weather.  Kevin is extremely well connected in the fishing industry, and his “down-home” style of delivery makes Saturday mornings a relaxing and informative way to start the weekend.

Finding a Lodge

A good conversation today about ice fishing today with Alex Welter of River Bent Outfitters. 

We talked about current ice conditions and how the fish are biting. Both have been challenging at times.

Alex also discussed some of the locations he's been fishing this season in the area within an hour or so of the La Crosse area and what he's been using to find success. 

You can find good information about what he's using and how to contact him on his website at River Bent Outfitters.

In the first show of 2026, I talk about winter fly fishing, plus the history of fishing and why using a something that looks like a leaf spring isn't a good idea for a fishing rod.

Fly fishing and some history tossed in, too

I'm talking today about where to find winter crappies. I'll share a couple of ideas on ways to find the most aggressive ones.

I also discuss the news this week about a CWD positive deer found in La Crosse County and what that means for baiting and feeding and testing in the area.
