4/10/2013 2:05:00 PMSpring just won't break through for us here in northern Wisconsin. There is still plenty of solid ice to fish on, and with a cold wet forecast, I don't see the ice leaving anytime soon.

4/8/2013 3:40:00 PMBy John Luthens The Bois Brule River in the far reaches of northwestern Wisconsin, in the early months of spring, is naturally engineered to separate the casual fisherman from the fanatic.
