The Big Eau Pleine Flowage, an impoundment of the Big Eau Pleine River, is known locally as a fish-producing machine – and for good reason, according to a 2024 survey by the local DNR fisheries team.
The Big Eau Pleine’s walleye population is sustained through natural reproduction. Other species of angler interest include northern pike, muskies, black crappies, and yellow perch.

Thanks to the effort of a local sportsmen’s club, hunters in three northeastern Wisconsin counties have a place to dispose of deer carcasses aimed at keeping chronic wasting disease (CWD) in check.
Since 2019, the Oconto County Sportsmen’s Alliance has provided deer carcass dumpsters. This year, seven dumpsters are located in Oconto County, two in Marinette County and one in Shawano County. Alliance President Gary Lemmen said there are two main reasons behind the effort.

Early harvest numbers from the archery deer season aren’t available yet, but three northeastern Wisconsin businesses are shedding a little light on how hunters are faring so far.
“As of Oct. 27, a lot of people were shooting bucks already,” said Brock Smejkal of Butch’s Archery & Outdoor Sports, located between Clintonville and Shawano. “A lot of people say Halloween’s the best time to hunt. They’ll start moving during the day. They’re just starting to chase the does around, but bucks are also hitting scrapes.”

That’s where Kim Penney found herself on a recent black bear hunt in Rusk County, Wis. The Waupaca resident shot a male bear Sept. 17 – her first bear – that tipped the scale at well over 500 pounds. Penney said she’s glad she passed on a much smaller bear earlier on the same trip.

At more than 7,900 acres with a depth of 236 feet, it’s safe to say Big Green Lake probably holds more water than most Wisconsin lakes. That water is home to one of the state’s most diverse fisheries that includes lake trout, muskies, walleyes, channel catfish, and panfish.

Wisconsin’s 15,000 lakes are home to all sorts of critters, but not all are welcome and that’s what hundreds of elementary and middle school students found out during a recent visit to Hartman Creek State Park near Waupaca.
Golden Sands Resource Conservation & Development Council, Inc., offered its annual Conservation Field Day Sept. 26 at the park for fifth- and sixth-graders from throughout Waupaca County.
