DULUTH, MN. (Northern News Now) - This time of year is a twilight zone for anglers. Ice fishing season is pretty much over and walleye season is still a few weeks away. But, in Wisconsin right now, catch and release stream trout season is rolling. This weekend, Minnesota’s catch and keep stream trout season opens, too. People are excited for that but a bit frustrated by the late winter.

“The steelhead season opens also so we have inland which is going to be iffy because we still have ice and snow on the upper stretches but on the lower stretches we got a few rivers now that are already open.” said John Fehnel of Great Lakes Fly Shop.

Customers at the Great Lakes Fly shop in Duluth are hopeful those ice free stretches will be relatively easy to get to this weekend.
