U S Forest Service plans 125 acres of wildlife openings this year in Chequamegon National Forest to diversify vegetation types in north central Wisconsin. Openings will avoid Tordon 10K herbicide, and will be created in upland areas or after timber harvest with regrowth blocked. Areas are leveled seeded and mowed biannually to supply high protein deer forage and support bear birds and other wildlife year round. The Brule River north of Hwy 2 to Lake Superior will have year round trout and salmon fishing from Jan 1 with a season limited by hours from Oct 1 to first Saturday in May to deter illegal snagging. Minimum size 10 inches and bag limit five, with night smelt fishing at river mouth exempt. Evidence suggests a yearlong season would not harm the fishery, with benefits including more lake run trout harvests and less opening day fishing pressure.
