Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for March 17, 2016

[Rick]

An end-of-winter snowstorm dropped up to 6 inches of snow in the far northwestern part of the state, with lesser amounts falling as far south as Park Falls, but warmer temperatures continue in the forecast and the snow is not expected to stay around long.High water associated with rain and snow closed a portion of Highway 169 leading to Copper Falls State Park from Mellon, but the park remains accessible from the east. The rains also washed out a section of the Tuscobia State Trail near Park Falls and barricades have been put in place at the washout.Wisconsin's new Go Wild system for issuing fishing, hunting, conservation patron and other licenses and permits went on line March 17. By the end of March, people will also be able to use the system to register boats, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles and to sign up for hunter and other safety education classes. The online system is accessible through personal computers, smart phone and other mobile devices and at more than 1,000 vendors statewide.
