  Wisconsin's signs of spring.

3/9/18

  ......
On Green Bay, anglers along the west shore continue to report decent catches of whitefish along with a few northern and perch, while anglers along the east shore had little luck, only coming in with two to five whitefish and many were out over the weekend pulling their shacks off as the ice is beginning to thin and open water is visible.

The Fox River is mostly ice free allowing anglers to get their boats in the water and heavy boat traffic was the norm at Fox Point over the weekend. Anglers report  good numbers of  walleye along with the occasional northern and whitefish. Sunset    report catching good numbers of perch averaging around 8 inches.

The Lakeshore State Park lagoon in Milwaukee is about 75 percent ice-free and the first boat has come in for fishing.

  's are still in winter flocks but are starting to move more. A few male wild turkeys have been seen strutting and displaying and heard gobbling. While these behaviors are signs of the impending breeding season, there is still a way to go before breeding actually begins.

The first signs are spring are starting to show as a small bear was identified outside of its den in central Iron County. Whether the bear left its den because of human disturbance or because melting snow created a puddle underneath it, will likely go back into hibernation until the days become longer and the temperatures warmer.

Fox and gray squirrels are taking advantage of warming weather and lengthening days by feeding furiously on nuts and seeds that have remained buried all winter under the snow. Raccoon, skunk, muskrat, mink, and opossum activity has increased as day and night temperatures have increased.

River otter sign may be more evident along creeks and streams this time of year as males increase their movements during the March to April breeding season.
On March 1, the number of greater white-fronted geese in Dodge County was described as staggering and nearly equal that of Canada geese. However, this weeks snowstorm triggered a reverse migration in with large numbers of geese seen flying south on March 7. Farther north, trumpeter swans have reached open water north to Lake Superior.

Before the snow storm maple sap had been flowing but the colder weather this week was halting flow. The flow may increase this weekend with the warmer weather again in the forecast.
