Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for June 30, 2016

[Rick]

The weather is looking to be almost perfect for the Fourth of July weekend and people are expected to be out enjoying lakes, parks, trails and campgrounds. State officials are urging everyone to have a safe and fun weekend. Boaters should make sure they have a life jacket for each person on board and are encouraged to wear them. Personal watercraft operators are reminded they must operate at slow no wake within 100 feet of another watercraft. Fireworks are prohibited on all state properties and rangers will be enforcing those rules at parks and forests. Even though fire danger is currently low, errant fireworks can still cause wildfires. And campers are reminded that instead of packing up firewood with everything else this holiday weekend, plan to get your firewood where you'll use it. You'll help protect the trees at your destination from pests and disease by keeping firewood local. Water levels on streams and rivers continue to remain above average on my areas of the state. The high flows on rivers and streams have made for good float and canoeing conditions, but anglers have had some difficulty in fishing many of their spots.
