MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — It’s time to get out the big tackle and get ready to reel in some monsters.
Musky season opens up on Wisconsin waters on Saturday. WXPR in Rhinelander reports that northern Wisconsin waters are warmer than usual this season, so that means the muskies are done spawning and should be looking to feed. That could make for some excellent fishing for the Memorial Day weekend.
Wardens remind you to have proper gear on hand to handle larger fish, like a sturdy net, pliers to remove hooks, and gloves to protect from bites.
