Sauk County - The opening of gun deer season went well with the warmer weather. A number of large bucks were taken. Most hunters saw deer while in their stands. There were no accidents or close calls reported in the area. Cold weather and ice conditions in the north have pushed new ducks into the area that most likely will remain until cold weather pushes them out.
Fishing remains slow in the area.
Rock County - The fishing activity has been somewhat slow this past week. Some walleyes are again biting at the dams in Janesville and Beloit. Some carp and northern have been biting on the Sugar River near the Beloit-Newark Bridge. Waterfowl hunting has been good in certain areas. A lot of crops are down which is making it good for goose hunters on the Rock Prairie.
