Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for August 10, 2017

[Rick]

After a period of dry weather, rain returned to much of the state this week, but in much lower amounts than earlier this summer. Water levels were back up some on some northern rivers but were dropping. The lower Wisconsin River has been dropping and many sandbars have once again returned to the river.Most campgrounds have been full on weekends. Skunks and raccoons are at their peak activity as well so we would like to remind campers to keep their food in locked vehicles. Most trails that were damaged by storms have reopened, though there are still some rough horse trails at Wildcat Mountain State Park so equestrians need to use caution there. A family camping at Pattison State Park this weekend from Omaha, Neb. brought a 1958 Chevrolet Pickup carrying a 1964 camper. The son stated he has camped in that camper his whole life and made countless memories. Photo Credit: DNRThere are reports that brown trout are in the Boise Brule River and fishing is picking up. Anglers continue to have success fishing musky, walleye, northern pike and bass on the Flambeau River. Walleye and panfish action was starting to pick up again on northeastern inland lakes. Trout streams in central Wisconsin have finally returned to normal water levels.
