Eau Claire County Wisconsin Outdoor Report as of September 17, 2009
Wisconsin continued to experience some unseasonably warm and mild conditions in the last week, with no additional rainfall. Most of the state has now gone without measurable rainfall so far this September. Current fire danger has risen to moderate statewide, and a number of wildfires have been reported in the last week. Fall color is picking up with the Department of Tourism Fall Color Report (exit DNR) now listing about half a dozen northern counties at between 25 and 50 percent peak colors. Fall officially arrives next week with the autumnal equinox on Tuesday.
Water temperatures have remained in the upper 60s to low 70s on most Northwoods lakes and the pleasant weather has kept many anglers out on lakes and rivers, with fishing been generally good. Musky fishing continues to be a big draw and action has been generally good, with nearly all musky anglers seeing fish and having follows, and numerous catches of mid-size fish have been made. Artificials such as bucktails and top-water baits continue to the favorite lures. Walleye success continues to improve with some decent catches reported from on and around mid-depth structure and gravel bars.

Smart Growth Wisconsin
Good or Bad....Smart Growth is upon us! The Comprehensive Planning Law was passed as part of the 1999-2001 Wisconsin biennial budget. Although sometimes referred to as the Smart Growth Law, the Comprehensive Planning Law does not actually dictate how or where development will occur. Those decisions are left to local communities.
I have enclosed in this link assembled by the State of Wisconsin concerning this very important issue.

Wisconsin Floodplain
If you're thinking of buying a property that is or may be located in a floodplain - this article will tell you what exactly a floodplain is and help you know what to look for.
Floodplains
Floodplains are normally dry or semi-dry land areas to which water naturally flows as water levels rise. Floodplains are typically found near rivers, lakes and the coast; however, many of Wisconsin's flood-prone lands are simply low-lying areas or depressions where water naturally collects when it rains.

Wisconsin Lakefront Zoning Rules
Here's a great article explaining Wisconsin's Lakefront and Shoreland Zoning.
Wisconsin Shoreland Zoning Rules
With over 15,000 inland lakes, 50,000 miles of rivers and streams, and 1000 miles of Great Lakes shoreline, water plays a key role in shaping the physical and cultural identity of Wisconsin. Boasting of quiet trout streams, wild rivers and streams, and inland lakes and wetlands created by ice-age glaciers, Wisconsin is blessed with a tremendous number and variety of water resources. Providing a necessary source of food and transportation, these water resources played a key role in the settlement of Wisconsin by Native American tribes and early settlers. Today, our water resources continue to play a vital role to local economies, natural habitats, and recreational activities.

Private Property Rights
"Property" is more than just the physical thing—the land, the bricks, the mortar—it is also the sum of all the rights and powers incident to ownership of the physical thing. It is the tangible and the intangible. Property is composed of constituent elements and of these elements the right to use the physical thing to the exclusion of others is the most essential and beneficial. Without this right all other elements would be of little value.' " -- Dickman v. Commissioner, 465 U.S. 330, 336 (1984).
