Here's the Fishing Report from the fly shop in Boulder Junction, WI:
================================================= =====================
Trout

Inland Trout season ends Saturday September 30th, but low water levels
have hurt our trout populations and it is best for the survival of the
resource to cease all your trout fishing for the season!
================================================= =====================

Damn the luck. Now what ?

I still plan to leave Urbana this Sunday and go fishing for a week
or two *somewhere*, the question now is where.

The Boulder Junction/Sylvania/Watersmeet area is nice because you
can fish for trout, musky, pike and smallies all in the same area.
I guess I could go up there and fish for musky, pike and smallies
but I'm thinkin' I'm gonna punt and go somewhere where I can wade
in a trout stream.

Who knows where the good trout fishing is gonna be happenin' next
week ? (And is willing to post it to roff ;-)

Well, I think that the owner of said shop, while a good musky
fisherman, is full of it.

The southern part of the State has too much water right now, if
anything. And while there are some streams in the NE that are very low
the fact is that if you were to go to the Western part of the State
you'd find good water levels. The spring ponds are in good shape. The
Bois Brule has plenty of water right now. Even up here on the Prairie
you would find low water but not dangerously low. The water temps are
very good right now too.

Except for a few streams in the far NE I think you can safely ignore
him. I will.
