Spring is here!

Highs were in the low 70's today, and I did my best to make the most of it. The big lakes were too murky to catch anything, but the lagoon in Vilas Park was doing just fine. There's never anything big in there, but I had a good time catching small sunfish. Caught a total of 11 bluegill and 4 pumpkinseeds. I could see bass and a couple muskies swimming around, but they had their minds on other things (and aren't legal to fish for yet).



This time of year there is always a crowd of people at the dam separating Wingra Creek from Lake Wingra. There is a sign up that says no fishing allowed, so why are they there? The muskies are trying to jump up the dam to make their way to spawning grounds in Lake Wingra! The following two pics are of a musky swimming under the creek side of the dam, and one that made it over the waterfall and was building up courage to swim the rest of the way to the lake side of the dam.
