Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for July 6, 2017

[Rick]

Some beautiful weather over the Fourth of July holiday had many people out enjoying parks and forests. State park and forest campgrounds were very busy with people enjoying the great outdoors. While some rain fell over the weekend it was considerably less than the state has received in previous weeks.Water levels have started to recede but are generally still well above the long term average for this time of year on most river systems. A few sandbars are starting to reappear on the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway. Water levels remain high on the Rock and Crawfish rivers and slow no wake rules are in effect on the Rock from the Dodge County line to Lake Koshkonong. Fishing has still been relatively slow over the past week on lower Green Bay, but there were signs of hope with some anglers catching walleyes out of Bayshore and Chaudoir's Dock. But anglers were having a very easy time catching freshwater drum, white bass, and catfish.
