EARLY TROUT SEASON OFFERS AN ANGLING ALTERNATIVE TO ICE FISHING
Anglers have a great reason to celebrate the New Year thanks to the return of Early Trout Season. The season starts at 5 am on January 7th and runs until midnight May 5th. According to the DNR Trout Specialist, the early catch and release trout season offer opportunities for everyone willing to wade or walk a stream bank in winter.
The extended trout season is generating new interest in trout fishing and encouraging more people to take advantage of our world-class trout streams. In addition to the exhilaration of the experience, there's also a beneficial economic impact since dedicated trout anglers are willing travel to new trout streams in pursuit of great fishing opportunities. Helpful information on whether to spin or not to spin can be found at dnr.wi.gov on the early trout season webpage. As for where to fish, Wis's official maps of classified trout streams have been updated and feature more than 4 additional streams that have been classified as trout waters since 2014. Early season anglers must have a valid 2016-2017 fishing license and trout stamp, licenses are valid from the April 1 through March 31 the following year. Access DNR's online licensing system by searching "Go Wild.wi.gov."  Enjoy fishing Wisconsin's trout streams in winter. The views can be spectacular, the fish are biting and it's great to be outdoors!

2017 NWTF  CONVENTION AND SPORT SHOW
Come to Nashville, TN on February 15 to 19 to be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. It's a really great place as my son and I spent some time there two years ago. On top of that, Nashville is a great place to have some wonderful nights out on the town. We found a super great hidden little pub inside a back-alley that served the best food around. So if you really want to have a wonderful time, sign up now for the convention and go enjoy the Southern style of living. The people are great down there and so helpful if you have a problem.

WISCONSIN: 2017 LEGISLATIVE SESSION CONVENES THIS WEEK
This week, the Wis. Legislature began its 2017 legislative session. As in 2016, the legislature can expect to see both pro and anti-gun agendas this year. It is important that gun owners and sportsmen across the Badger State stay actively involved in these issues throughout 2017.  Your NRA-ILA will continue to fight off attacks and advance reforms that promote and protect your Second Amendment rights and hunting heritage.  To help assure success in 2017, please continue to check: www.NRAILA.org  for alerts on the latest action items.

NRA-ILA  DAILY ALERT FOR FRIDAY JANUARY 6, 2017  HEADLINES FOR THE WEEK

40 Percent Myth Further Debunked by Suspiciously-timed Harvard Report: Lets just say the Harvard Report lies thru their teeth about background checks to purchase firearms. What do you expect from a Liberal institution and Ivy  college. They all lie to make their reports look like they are important. State Department Snubs Congressional Concerns: Pres. Obama is working hard to make his last days in office count. Unfortunately for the nation, his concern as usual is partisan politics, not good governance. ( Apparently there are no golf courses open at this time of the year near Washington DC.)  Boston University Continues to Tout Flawed Gun Research:   The research is flawed so badly it has the behavior of a mule. Gun Shy Professor Claims Need to Counter Campus Carry: Remember when you went to college to learn something important, now these college professors want to debate social issues like guns. Finally:  THE BATTLE TO CONFIRM JEFF SESSIONS AS ATTORNEY GENERAL IS UNDERWAY!!!  NRA MEMBER ACTION NEEDED NOW!!!  Contact your U.S. Senators Baldwin and Sen. Ron Johnson. You can pretty well bet Sen. Baldwin will never vote for us firearm owners, never!  Orlando Democrats seek semi-auto ban in Florida: Democrats in this state for 2017 are after specific guns and "parts that convert a firearm into an assault weapon"---such as large capacity magazines--which would be prohibited under their proposed law." and here is the best story of all times... CZECH GOVERNMENT TELLS ITS CITIZENS HOW TO FIGHT TERRORISTS: SHOOT THEM YOURSELVES!!!!!

ATTENTION ALL CITIZENS WHO LOVE OUR CONSTITUTION and 2ND AMENDMENT

I received on December 31st a request for money to help Russ Feingold fund the re-election of Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Baldwin who are both up for re-election in 2018, and he states that you can bet that Donald Trump and his cronies are going to attack them with all they have.
Really citizens, haven't we had enough of the LIBERALS FOR 8 YEARS OF SCREWING WITH OUR CONSTUTITIONAL RIGHTS. Criminals today have 100% more rights then the average citizen, and look at all the criminals that the Muslim Terrorist Obama released from prisons around the country. Yes, he was a terrorist loving Muslim in my opinion and look how he is trying to jammed up the country in the last few weeks he's still in office. As I have always said to many readers, once he's out of office, we as citizens need to take away ALL Secret Service protection for him and family and let his black brothers in Chicago protect them. He will continue to work to dis-arm all citizens in America and I feel it's time to release him back to his community and let them protect him.
Getting back to Russ Feingold wanting me to donate money to help the Liberals is a joke in of its self. Feingold wants us to support two progressive champions in the Senate, Warren & Baldwin. Two peas in a pod, lesbian and a nut case. Feingold states:"I'm going to do everything I can to fight back against president elect Donald Trump and his terrifying vision for the future of our country. I can think of no better way to show him that than by supporting two of the Senate's key progressives who are up for re-election in 2018: Tammy Baldwin and Elizabeth Warren." Well citizens, do you really think it's a good idea to re-elect a pair of nut cases who have done nothing for the middle class citizens other than to take my money and give it to people who are to lazy to work for a living today. The fight is on again for our Rights! Let's get rid of all Liberals in either party and put God Fearing people in office now. In God we trust, but keep your powder dry, you might need it if more liberals get into office again.
