Fishing and wildlife report from the Mississippi region
Last week fishing for blue gill and crappie occurred in backwaters but ice remains unsafe for walking. Walleye fishing below dams is poor due to ice flows and currents. Northern rivers near Prairie du Chien and LaCrosse enjoy active ice fishing with pike and crappies. Wintering waterfowl near dams. bald eagles near Belleville and LeClaire. Overall wildlife shows a harsh winter with low rabbit, pheasant and quail numbers. spraying for weeds may harm wildlife but proper label use helps. Timber and pulpwood work slow. trucks blocked by flooded areas. some illegal timber cutting noted.
