Lost Islands Returned to Wisconsin

By Jerome Christenson winonadailynews.com

Sometime in the past 50 years, Wisconsin lost a couple of islands.

Minnesota found them and, like a good neighbor, is giving them back.

The islands are in the Mississippi River just north of Lock and Dam 4, downstream from the marina in Alma, Wis. They are part of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The only people affected by the change in jurisdiction will be those who hunt and trap on the islands, said Mary Stefanski, Winona district manager for the refuge. Wisconsin hunting and trapping regulations will apply this fall, and Wisconsin hunting licenses and stamps will be needed.

Bowfishing in Wisconsin

By Patrick Durkin madison.com:

Geysers erupted around me like small depth charges as I rowed, probed and maneuvered through Lake Poygan's patchwork of cane beds in the shallows near Boom Bay.

All these watery explosions triggered by spawning carp could mean only one thing: My nephew must be near.

If it's dawn in early June and carp are wallowing in Poygan's shallows, that's where you look for Beau Christensen of Madison. We failed long ago to interest him in walleye fishing or deer hunting, but carp? He's been hounding the big uglies ever since his grandfather got him a used bowfishing rig about 10 years ago.
