Opening weekend yields varied trout and bass success across Wisconsin
Anglers report success on several trout streams with rainbows filling creels and brown trout up to 16 inches taken in Iowa County. Zander's Lake Green County draws large crowds with limits of five trout. Cold weather slows bass on Yellowstone Twin Valley and Black Hawk Lakes though paddlers expect better next weekend. Multiple notable catches include a 54 pound Brule River fish and a 22 pound Lake Catherine muskell, while muskies near Little Green Lake number about 50. Walleye success shines at Fox Lake with a 10 pounder and a 7 pounder near Hayward and Amnicon Lake.
