The Outdoor Report is updated every Wednesday afternoon. Previous outdoor reports are also available on-line. Dan Small of the Wisconsin Public Television show Outdoor Wisconsin will host this hour-long broadcast that will feature hunting outlook reports from across the state, interviews with DNR foresters, wildlife managers and hunter safety experts, and tips on gaining access to private hunting lands. The show will also give hunters an opportunity to call-in during the show and have their deer hunting questions answered by DNR staff.
Fishing continues to be good.
Musky anglers in the Park Falls and Phillips area are still finding excellent action on many area lakes, and the Flambeau Flowage continues to provide good walleye action. Walleye anglers are also doing well around Eagle River, finding fish in deep holes and shallow weeds. Musky action in this area continues to improve with two 30-pounders reported last week. Large suckers or jerk baits are working the best. Coho and brown trout fishing was excellent on the Root River with small brown and black, or brown and red flies working the best.
