State Conservation Board Rejects Broad Deer Closures
The State Conservation Commission yesterday rejected pleas to close most of several northern counties for the 1952 deer season. It will reexamine counties and seek a partial solution, with final action due at the September meeting. Fishing rules for next year largely mirror current ones, with April 1 as a new opening date for walleye and pike on several rivers and Lake Winnebago waters. Motor trolling remains prohibited on inland waters, though Green Lake is eyed for a one time experiment. The panel also opposed reserving trout streams for trout fishing due to staffing limits, but may revisit later.
