Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for October 13, 2016

[Rick]

Fall has come to the state in a rush as temperatures dropped this week. Fall color is variable across the state. A few northern counties are now reporting past peak but many northern counties are at peak and areas in central Wisconsin are edging past 50 percent to near peak color, making it a great time to get out. Fall color was peak last weekend at Pattison State Park's Little Manitou Falls.Photo Credit: Kevin FeindAnglers who withstood the rain and wind reported generally lowered success and decreased pressure. In the Northwoods, water temperatures have dropped into the mid-50s and musky anglers have been seeing the best action on live suckers, with fish up to 46 inches reported. Along Green Bay, fishing pressure on the Bay was low due to high winds and dangerous wave conditions. Perch anglers were finding some success this week catching upwards of 10 keeper sized perch with some anglers fishing Little Sturgeon Bay reporting many boats catching near their limit.
