Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for August 24, 2017

[Rick]

DNR Outdoor Report as of August 24, 2017It's almost the last week of August and an early fall breeze is in the air. Temperatures have been dropping slightly and are now steady in the mid to high 60s and low 70s. Leaves are continuing to change on early responders and the dense forests of summer are slowly becoming more visible. Nuisance bugs have slowed down a bit and water levels are returning to normal, making this a great time to get out on the trail or onto the water. Panfish are still biting on most northern inland lakes, with worms and leeches working best. Fishing on the Wolf River has been good, with decent catches of walleye, northern pike, bass, and catfish. The lower Peshtigo River is still producing walleye, perch, catfish, drum, and smallmouth bass and they remain the main draw below the dam at Stiles on the Oconto River.
