Richland County Fishing Report July 3, 2013
By Wayne Morgenthaler
We have had very heavy rains in the past couple of weeks. The high water flooded the backwaters. Right now it is easy to kayak or canoe. You can travel a long way before you are stopped by a beaver dam. The fishing is very slow and the weeds cover most of the open water. The streams were over their banks and now have gone back to near normal water levels. The trout holes have changed and the fish are difficult to locate. This will take some time for the trout to adjust. Bluegill action has been very good.
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
