Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for April 6, 2017

[Rick]

Spring has sprung in much of the state and nature has taken the hint. Recent rains may have laid the groundwork for a muddy run, hike or bike, but it will strengthen the ongoing green-up, and many sections should be dried, or drying, by the weekend. With the dryer weather, fire danger is increasing, and was at high across the northern two-thirds of the state. Burning permits have been suspended in 44 counties. Fire danger will likely remain high through the weekend and until the state receives more rain.Lakes have now opened up through Sawyer and Washburn counties and the remaining ice in far northern counties is trending black, rotting and is unsafe, with anglers reported falling through the ice in Oneida County.
