Richland County June 1st report
By Wayne Morgenthaler
The backwaters of the Wisconsin River near Lone Rock are producing some nice bluegills. Fishing was great with the fly rod and a tantalizing rubber spider.
The northern pike action is picking up and a great time to find some nice size ones. I like spinners with buck tails in colors of orange or green.
Trout action had been good, but we have had a tremendous amount of rain lately. The mushroom season is about over but the big ones can be found in the deep woods.
Don’t forget to get out and enjoy the outdoors with the younger generation. The rewards are many and the memories last forever.
A good place to get information for outdoor activities for Richland County is to stop in at the Visitor Center located in Richland Center at the railroad station, which is currently open from 8 to 4, Monday through Friday. They have some outstanding maps to help you navigate. They can also line you up with local guides. They are located on Hwy 14 in the middle of town and just look for the railroad car and station. There is a stop light at the intersection that you will need to turn on. You can call 608-647-6205 or email chamber@richlandalliance.com
