Cool weather has delayed spawning, but action is picking up in the Trempealeau Lakes area. Fishing pressure is heavy. Recent rains have raised stream levels slightly. Some brook and brown trout are being caught in the Trempealeau River. Morel mushrooms are still showing up.
Mosquitos are out in full force.
Some raccoon deaths have been reported due to canine distemper. Many fawns and other wild animal babies are being born now. In order to reduce the chances of being found, most young animals will hide and their mothers will remain away from them for long periods of time. To the casual observer, it may appear that these young animals have been orphaned. If you come across a young animal, leave it alone unless you are positive the mother is dead.
