Wisconsin sportsmen approve trout bag increase and deer quota rise
In hearings statewide and in the West Central DNR district, sportsmen backed higher daily trout limits, broader deer quotas, earlier waterfowl seasons, and extended partridge and grouse seasons.

Barron County Yellow River gets brush work to aid trout
DNR crews brush 4000 feet of stream banks on the Yellow River between Rice Lake and Cumberland to improve trout habitat by reducing silt buildup and speeding water flow. Shocking data will be compared with future surveys, and additional brush and log structures were installed previously to boost food, cover, and spawning sites.
