: Hi Folks,
: Looks like we need to get the message board cranked up, not many posts. I monitor the MN TU board and if you want to get traffic you need folks to post.
: I am a new member. I live in SE MN and simply love fly-fishing and clean water. I joined because I was interested in learning more about opportunities for fly-fishing in WI. I fish WI quite a bit every spring and fall for steelies and salmon but as is often the case I could use good advice regarding current conditions and other opportunities. For business I travel WI several times a year and it would be great to get info for some of the areas I visit.
: I will be happy to return the favor. I am the SE MN TU Chair and if you would like good info and condition reports on SE MN let me know. We have some very nice limestone spring creeks, well worth checking out if you have the opportunity.
: Today’s questions:
: Did anyone take a look at the Milwaukee, Sheboygan, Root, Menominee Rivers or Oak Creek yesterday? What were conditions like? How much of the ice went out?
: Any fishing reports?
: Tight Lines,
: Gary
I drove over the Milwaukee River just north of silverspring road. There was still a lot of ice on the river, but the lower parts were the flow is faster is probably open. If we get some rain in the next two days(its suposed to rain)I imagin that the river will be mostly free of any ice by Saturday. I also drove over the Milwauke river today near Miller Park. Its wide open and there were a few fishermen on the river. I wish I had the time to see if they were catching anything. I will try to check it out tomarrow and let everyone know.
