Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for June 28, 2018

[Rick]

After last week's rain and high water, things are settling down and getting back to normal just in time for the Fourth of July Holiday. There are still some closures on properties in northwestern Wisconsin, but many properties and facilities remain open. Some roads and trails at Amnicon Falls and Pattison state parks remain closed but campgrounds are open. Day use areas at Pattison remain closed as is the beach because of the water drawdown to repair the dam and Highway 35 crossing. The horse trail at Governor Knowles State Forest, one campground at Merrick State Park and trails and picnic areas at Interstate Park along the river are still underwater. Canoe landings at the Brule River are no longer under water and are useable once again. "Balancing Act" This 18-foot aspen log was found balanced perfectly on an aspen stump on the Beaver Trail at Pattison State Park during a trail damage assessment hike by park staff.

Paddlers should not that the Lower Wisconsin River is running very high for this time of year and virtually no sandbars are available for camping.
