Outdoor News

FISHING REPORT:   The inland fishing this past week was very good according to the reports from the DNR, with Trout streams. Some lake anglers reported water temperatures were still cool keeping fishing slower, but walleye anglers across the north and on Green Bay found good success with many boats coming back to the dock with fish. There are reports that the bluegills are biting on area lakes and crappie fishing was starting to heat up on some of the smaller lakes in central Wisconsin. Fishing on Lake Michigan was slow mainly due to the large waves and strong winds off the lake. There have been small craft warnings for the last few days over the past couple of weeks. Alewives have moved in along shorelines and some rivers with cormorants and terns diving to feed on them.  Bass fishermen in the Sturgeon Bay area found some good luck, but once again the high winds blew the guys off the water. Lake Winnebago system reported a fairly short sturgeon run on the Upper Fox and Wolf Rivers this spring. Sturgeon were again spotted spawning a second time on location on the Wolf River during the last week of April. This year during the second spawn run, fisheries crew tagged an additional 46 fish.
