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.
