Wausau/Central Wisconsin area (MARATHON COUNTY, including the communities
of Kronenwetter, Mosinee, Rib Mountain, Rothschild, Schofield, Wausau, and
Weston) -- as of May 5, 2008:

Walleye, bass and northern providing excellent action, with great
bow fishing opportunities for carp, and lots of quality gobblers being taken
by hunters in the Wausau/Central Wisconsin area.

While many lakes further north are still at least partially locked with ice
or winter-like water temperatures, the waters in the Wausau/Central
Wisconsin area are flowing well, with water temps ranging into the mid to
upper 40 degree range or warmer.

After a successful spawn, the walleyes in the Wausau/Central Wisconsin area
have scattered, but are eminently catchable. During this transition period
of migration to their warm weather haunts, search for the walleyes in a
variety of depths and areas. Once located, fish using crankbaits or jig and
twister tail combos, which have been producing successfully for weeks. Some
real nice fish, in the ten pound range are being caught. Many post-spawn
walleyes are also succumbing to trolling presentations on the Wisconsin
River and its flowages.

Smallmouth bass in the Wausau/Central Wisconsin area have already begun to
move from their winter locations towards spawning grounds. Locate these
fish in gravel or rock bottom areas, by fishing the deeper water surrounding
them during the coolest portions of the day. utilize a jig and twister tail,
a three inch tube jig, or a suspending style crankbait. Numbers of
trophy-quality smallies are almost a "gimme" on the mighty Wisconsin River
system.

Northern in the 40 inch or more range are being caught on the Wisconsin
River systems as well as the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir in the Wausau/Central
Wisconsin area. The largest northerns are currently frequenting back bays,
sloughs, and inlets. Larger suspending style crankbaits, as well as
swimbaits and jig-and-creature combos are scoring daily. Once fish-holding
areas have been located, use a jumbo golden shiner or larger sucker minnow
beneath floats, which will prove very productive during cooler water
periods, and higher fishing pressure situations.

A nice "plus" in the Wausau/Central Wisconsin area is to capitalize on bow
fishing opportunities. Numbers of large carp are frequenting many of the
sloughs, backwaters, and bays, making for some of the best shooting of the
season. There are evenings going on right now where over 500 pounds of carp
are being shot from a single boat!

And when your arms tire from reeling in all the trophy fish, there's some
great wild turkey hunting going on in the Wausau/Central Wisconsin area,
with an array of quality gobblers harvested, and countless more available.

And remember, that unlike so many lakes further north, that have daily
walleye bag limits of two or three fish, the walleye bag limit remains at
FIVE (5) fish on most of the waters of the Wausau/Central Wisconsin area.

With such a wealth of opportunities, it's important for anglers to practice
catch-and-release for everything but a few for the frying pan. This simple
and mindful conservation will insure that the legendary fishing in the
Wausau/Central Wisconsin area will continue for generations to come.

***Some outdoor activities and events coming up in the Wausau/Central
Wisconsin area in the coming weeks:

-- Fri./Sat., May 16-17, 2008: Firefighters Motor Ride for MDA. An
organized ride through central Wisconsin open to all motorcyclists. All
money raised goes to MDA. Host hotel is Lodge at Cedar Creek.
Entertainment.

GENERAL: The Wausau/Central Wisconsin's spring season is a magnet for those
who seek the beauty and enormous breadth of nature, as well as the finest
hiking, biking, touring, sightseeing, birding exploring, picnicking,
relaxing, and legendary open-water fishing anywhere (remember, most waters
in the Wausau/Central Wisconsin area REMAIN OPEN for walleye, northern and
bass throughout the year without any closed season). Wonderful tracts of
forest, pristine waters, wildflowers, birds and wildlife surround visitors
at every turn. The services, infrastructure, entertainment, accommodations,
restaurants, and non-stop community activities, festivals, and events
provide something for every taste. Wausau/Central Wisconsin Convention &
