As far as Northwoods fishing destinations go, a small lake in Wisconsin’s Taylor County probably isn’t on anyone’s list.
Except mine, and that’s the way I want it to stay. On paper, the 23-acre lake in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Taylor County may not seem like a big deal. It’s a different story in person, however.

Jacob Pliska didn’t mind getting up early the morning of June 20 because the day had something to do with fishing, which was right up the Rosholt 13-year-old’s alley.
Pliska was one of hundreds of people – from young kids to senior citizens – to show up for the 36th annual Eland fishing day and take a crack at stocked rainbow trout, many of them more than a foot long.

Imagine nearly 5,000 acres of undeveloped forest dotted with small lakes, plenty of hunting and trapping opportunities, remote camping sites, and miles of hiking trails.
Sound too good to be true? It might, but such a place does exist in rural Chippewa County. The Chippewa Moraine State Recreation Area is part of the Wisconsin state park system and sits seven miles east of New Auburn on Hwy. M. Chippewa County Forest acreage is interspersed with the recreation area, adding to the hunting and trapping opportunities.

Small-town sportsmen in Wisconsin’s Waupaca County won’t have to travel far for gear and bait now that Rick Zemple has opened Little Wolf River Outfitters in downtown Manawa.
There was a time not too long ago when fishermen, trappers and hunters could head to their local sporting goods store to pick up a dozen minnows, a box of ammunition or trap lure. If a town had a body of water, chances are there was a store catering to sportsmen.

Lance Penney harvested his first turkey in 1995 in Wisconsin’s Waupaca County.
He was just getting started. He recently returned from Indiana after completing a goal of shooting a turkey in the 49 states where they exist – 20 in the offing. He shot more than half of the birds in the past four years after retiring from the Waupaca County Highway Department.

Dealing with flooding is nothing new for John Faucher, who has run Johnny’s Little Shop of Bait on the banks of the Wolf River in New London, Wis., the past 15 years.
This year was different, however, and Faucher and his wife, Ann, are still cleaning up after flood waters entered their shop in late April. The business was closed for 15 days and reopened on May 2, the state’s inland fishing opener, but with work still remaining.

A Shawano County man is facing a total of eight felony and misdemeanor charges in connection with an alleged deer poaching case in Wisconsin’s Waupaca County.
Dylan J. Wolff, 27, of Pulcifer, has been charged with two felony counts and six misdemeanor counts and was scheduled to make his initial appearance in Waupaca County Circuit Court June 4. The Waupaca County District Attorney Kat Turner filed the charges after DNR conservation wardens confronted Wolff Jan. 8 at Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery in the Waupaca County town of Matteson.

One of Russell Demmith’s earliest memories is going to Hunters and Fishermans Bar in Lena as a kid with his father.
“I got a Baby Ruth candy bar that was like half a pound or a quarter pound for a nickel and it would last all day,” he said. “It would be so smoky in here that you couldn’t even see. Everybody was smoking cigarettes, big stogies or corn cob pipes. You could bring a ham in here in the morning and it would be smoked at night.”

Nate Harms grew up in Clark County, a hotbed of hunting activity in west-central Wisconsin.
Harms, who recently retired after teaching fifth grade at Waupaca Middle School for several years, never hunted while attending Owen-Withee High School. That all changed April 3-4 after he took part in Waupaca’s learn-to-hunt program that pairs first-time turkey hunters with a mentor to provide a positive and educational hunting experience.
