Light from the dining hall at Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center spilled out, down the hill, under the pines, and onto the bank of the Wisconsin River, where a handful of environmental educators were waiting for a night hike to begin. I almost hadn't joined the group. This was the final night of the Wisconsin Association of Environmental Education annual conference, and I had a long drive home the next day. Being sleepy for that wouldn't be ideal. But it had been years since I'd been on a night hike, and I didn't want to miss out.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/606 Presented By: Togens Fly Shop, Jackson Hole Fly Company, FishHound Expeditions, Visit Helena, MT Have you ever wondered what gear to use to land a world-record musky? Today, we're hanging out with musky legend Larry Ramsell. Larry has been fishing for muskies for over 60 years and has some crazy stories. We chat about fake IGFA records, his mission to set things straight, and why some lures are worth $900! We'll also cover the significant issues facing the musky population and how to preserve these giants long-term. This is another epic episode with one of the old-school anglers who paved the way for all of us! Show Notes with Larry Ramsell on Musky Angling History. ed his first musky in 1957 and has spent 68 years chasing muskies all over North America and Canada. 03:44 - Muskies are native to areas like the St. Lawrence River, Georgian Bay, the Ohio River drainage down into Kentucky, the Mississippi River, the Chippewa River, the Wisconsin River, and parts of Eastern Minnesota. Due to stocking and propagation efforts, muskies can now be found all over the northern half of the US and in Ontario and Quebec. World Record Musky 4:31 - Some of the largest muskies ever caught have been found in the St. Lawrence River and Georgian Bay. Despite being a native of Hayward, Wisconsin, which claims to be "home of world record muskies," Larry says that the records of the '30s and the '40s were all bogus. 6:19 - There are various record organizations for muskies: International Game Fish Association (IGFA) in Florida Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward Modern Muskie Records Larry helped build the record program for the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in the early '70s. He later resigned from the Hall of Fame and started Modern Muskie Records. 07:00 - Their current record at MDMWRP is a 58-pound fish caught on Lake Bellaire, Michigan, in 2013. IGFA recognizes Cal Johnson's 67.5-pound musky, while the Hall of Fame recognizes Louis Spray's fish at 69 pounds, 11 ounces. Larry points out that both records have been proven to be questionable. 13:26 - We discuss the challenges of verifying the legitimacy of musky records. Larry shares some instances of tampering, such as adding sand to increase the weight of the fish. The Rise of Musky Fishing 20:42 - In the 1960s, Muskies Inc. was founded, and they heavily advocated catch and release for muskies. As more people practiced catch and release, the musky population flourished. This led to the increased popularity of musky fishing. 23:00 - Larry points out the need for better handling practices when catching muskies. He says anglers should use the proper tools and techniques when handling and releasing the fish to ensure survival. Here are some of his tips: Use a pair of bolt cutters to remove the hooks quickly. Consider hand-holding the fish at the side of the boat instead of using a net, and keep the fish in the water as much as possible. Avoid excessive photography. 29:08: Muskies can live up to 20 to 25 years or older. Larry also mentions the difference in egg production between musky strains. Larry Ramsell's Musky Fishing Tips 44:00 - Larry expresses frustration over some musky fishermen prioritizing expensive lures over proper gear, such as quality rods, reels, and lines. He says that while it may not be a poor man's sport, there are affordable options to enjoy musky fishing. Here are some of Larry's tips for beginners: Start with areas that have a higher population of musky. Learn the techniques for catching muskies and how to handle them properly. Remember that catching large muskies requires patience and skill. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/606

In a twist that sounds more like a plot from a poorly written summer horror flick than reality, Tony Brueski's podcast "Hidden Killers" takes listeners down the tumultuous currents of the Wisconsin River where a day of tubing turned deadly. The episode, featuring insights from retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, dissects the chaotic incident involving Nicolae Miu, a tubing enthusiast who found himself in a life-threatening clash with a group of intoxicated young adults. Despite the serene setting, what started as a search for a lost phone spiraled into accusations, violence, and ultimately, a tragic stabbing. The conversation delves into the complexities of self-defense, the blur of chaos in critical moments, and the disturbing mob mentality that escalated the confrontation. Both sides had their truths and lies, with Miu admitting his mistakes on the stand, contrasting starkly with the young adults' defiant and unapologetic demeanor, shedding light on a broader issue of accountability and moral compass—or the lack thereof—in today's youth. Nicolae Miu's trial for a stabbing incident during a tubing trip on the Wisconsin River is under scrutiny. Both sides lied during the investigation, with Miu eventually admitting his initial falsehoods about possessing the knife. The incident was marked by a disturbing mob mentality among the group of intoxicated young adults. Legal discussions revolve around self-defense, the influence of alcohol, and the potential for lesser charges against Miu. Questions about parental responsibility and legal accountability for underage drinking and aggressive behavior were raised. The possibility of a self-defense acquittal for Miu, considering the circumstances of the altercation. #NicolaeMiu #WisconsinRiver #TubingTragedy #SelfDefense #MobMentality #LegalDrama #RiverRumble Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In an episode that delves deep into the chaotic waters of a Wisconsin river tubing incident, Tony Brueski and guest Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor and defense attorney, unravel the perplexing case of Nicolae Miu. Miu found himself embroiled in a deadly confrontation during what should have been a serene day of tubing. The discussion highlights the unexpected escalation from a simple search for a cell phone to a fatal stabbing, underlining the "fog of war" that enveloped Miu and a group of young adults. Amidst accusations, intoxication, and a mob mentality, the legal quandaries of reasonable fear, self-defense, and the consequences of initiating conflict are dissected. The podcast paints a vivid picture of the tragic turn of events, emphasizing the fine line between self-preservation and excessive reaction, while exploring the broader implications of group aggression and individual response in extreme situations. The incident involved Nicolae Miu, who was tubing on the Wisconsin River, resulting in a violent confrontation leading to a stabbing. The chaos ensued from a misunderstanding involving Miu searching for his cell phone, leading to a confrontation with intoxicated young adults. The legal discussion revolves around whether Miu had a reasonable fear of imminent bodily harm, justifying his actions under self-defense laws. The mob mentality of the group of young adults, their initial aggression, and Miu's response to the physical threat he faced are scrutinized. Ethical questions are raised regarding the role of intoxication, the physical environment of the river, and the potential for drowning or severe injury. The tragic outcomes and the legal defense highlight the complexities of proving self-defense, especially when the defendant is outnumbered and physically at a disadvantage. #NicolaeMiu #WisconsinRiver #SelfDefense #LegalBattle #TubingTragedy #MobMentality #RiverRage Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How far are some people willing to go to keep a secret? In 2021, Chandler Halderson told police that his parents, Bart and Krista, were missing after a trip to their family cabin north of Windsor, Wisconsin for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. But Chandler became a prime suspect after lying about his activities in the days leading up to the holiday. Police then got a final break in the case from Chandler's girlfriend, whose account on the popular social media app, Snapchat, tracked Chandler's location to a remote spot along the Wisconsin River during the time of his parent's disappearance. When deputies searched the area, they made a gruesome discovery. Erin Moriarty takes you even deeper into the "48 Hours" investigation, "The Snapchat Clue".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ana and Eric light the fire on Wood County, a diverse county in the heart of Wisconsin offering cities like Marshfield, a major medical hub, and Wisconsin Rapids, known for its papermaking, water skiing, golf, and - more recently - competitive BMX racing, as well as beautiful, serene rural areas from farms to forest and plenty of open space for outdoor fun. They open the Cabin door for Matt McLean from Visit Marshfield and Meredith Kleker from the Wisconsin Rapids Convention & Visitors Bureau for an in-depth look at the county they both call home. One major note about Wood County is its penchant for cranberries. Not only do they produce a sizable share of Wisconsin's cranberry crop (which leads the nation and is tops among the world), Pittsville is home to the only Cranberry Program in a high school and a “Cranberry Road” Auto Tour offers people the opportunity for a colorful tour of the bogs and marshes. Pittsville is also the geographic center of the state, by the way, in case you were curious about why we say Wood County is in the heart of Wisconsin. Outdoor adventures abound in the county, from bountiful hunting areas to beautiful trails; designated areas like the Mead Wildlife Area offers opportunities for both. Powers Bluff near the center of the county is a literal standout, rising prominently among the landscape while offering winter recreation from tubing to snowboarding. Wood County is becoming more of a golf destination, from nearby Sand Valley to Lake Arrowhead. The Wisconsin River, which runs along the eastern side of the county and right through Wisconsin Rapids, is home to active water ski groups who put on popular shows in season. We dive into Wisconsin Rapids with Meredith, checking out the city's sports offerings from its Central Wisconsin BMX track to baseball games at Witter Field for Wisconsin Rapids Rafters action - and unique way they deliver beers to you! If hockey is more your sport, the Wisconsin Rapids River Kings have you covered in winter. The city's paper history is showcased in the Papermaking Museum, and one of the newer breweries in the state, Two Doors Down Brewing, is right downtown, not far from Hotel Mead, Wisconsin Rapids; own boutique hotel. Matt highlights Marsjhfield with us, including art galleries, museums, historic sites, the World's Largest Round Barn on the Central Wisconsin State Fairgrounds, and some excellent shopping up and down the city's main drag, Central Avenue. Blue Heron Brewpub is Marshfield's own brewery, and if you want to wander among some remarkable sculptures and metal art, the Jurustic Walk downtown will mesmerize. Marshfield also offers a fantastic (and free) zoo in Wildwood Park, which features an impressive display holding two Kodiak bears along with a wide variety of other animals. Wisconsin's reputation for cheese shines in Nasonville with their dairy and the very popular Dairy State Cheese Store in Rudolph, which also has the amazing Rudolph Grotto nearby and is the home of Dick Trickle and other popular race car drivers.

Jon Jarosh from Destination Door County joins for a look at the Door County Coastal Byway, 66 miles of beauty and charming towns on the Door Peninsula along Highways 42 and 57, from Sturgeon Bay north to beautiful coasts, state and county parks, and towns like Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, Ephraim, Sister Bay, Ellison Bay, Gills Rock, Baileys Harbor, and Jacksonport. Mary Motiff from Bayfield County (and the mayor of its county seat, Washburn) joins for the Lake Superior Scenic Byway conversation. The Byway covers 70 miles along Highway 13 in Bayfield County, showing off the beauty of the northern coast of the state from near Ashland through Washburn and Bayfield over to Cornucopia, Port Wing, and Herbster with beaches, forest, orchards, wineries, and even the first National Tribal Park in the nation along the way. Josh Ostermann joins Eric and Ana in The Cabin for a look at the others (yes, pizza gets a mention.) The Nicolet-Wolf River Scenic Byway is the newest, covering 145 miles through the Nicolet National Forest and along the beautiful Wolf River, which has a National Scenic River designation. It winds through Forest, Langlade, Oneida and Vilas Counties along segments of Highways 55, 52, 32, and 70 with connections to a wide variety of multi-use, all-season trails. The Lower Wisconsin River State Scenic Byway covers 100 miles along Highway 60 from Lodi to Bridgeport by Prairie du Chien, giving you a nice cross-section of Wisconsin's incredible Driftless Area and the shifting courses of the Wisconsin River and its valley. Finally, Wisconsin's segment of the Great River Road gets covered as it runs along the Mississippi River from East Dubuque to Prescott. This multi-state byway actually begins in Minnesota and follows the Mississippi River for 10 states until it ends in New Orleans, Louisiana, but Wisconsin's segment is the most scenic (by many measures, not just ours!) It covers 250 miles, much of it along Highway 35, through 33 river towns. These include some of the oldest settlements in the state, the dynamic city of La Crosse as well as Prairie du Chien (the only place where two state designated scenic byways meet) and charming smaller towns like Trempealeau, Stockholm, Pepin, Alma, Fountain City, and Potosi. You can enjoy many scenic overlooks, with some great birding opportunities including bald eagles. All in all, Wisconsin's five designated scenic byways provide over 600 miles of road trip beauty and fun.

Learn more here; https://bit.ly/3TSFYY4 Campfire Conversation:Eric and Ana – with Logan too – hit the water in this Campfire Conversation, highlighting some Wisconsin's “Must Visit” water recreation locations. Much of the conversation begins in the north, with the Apostle Islands and its bevy of options in Lake Superior. The Brule River, known as the “River of Presidents” for its history as a popular fishing and getaway spot for U.S. presidents in the early 20th century, also gets some love as its flows into Lake Superior not too far to the west. Hopping the subcontinental divide, the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway offers all of fun and natural beauty you could expect from a river. The Wild Rivers Conservancy is active along the river, and the waterfalls coupled with fishing, paddling, and hiking along the shore offer abundant options for an adventurous day. We also cover the Vets on the River Program, which is active on the St. Croix. Flowing into the St. Croix in western Wisconsin is the Apple River, which offers tubing, floating, and a variety of popular water recreation activities in the areas around Somerset, making it a big summer destination. Of course the Wisconsin River gets its due, whether you're fishing in the Eagle River area, water skiing with the best of them in Wisconsin Rapids, touring the sandstone and limestone bluffs around Wisconsin Dells, or kayaking the Lower Wisconsin Waterway. The Wolf River runs through much of the North Woods and offers unbelievably amazing fishing. Ana dives into the Madison “chain o' lakes” (literally too, in real life) as she and Eric discuss the many options of Lake Mendota, Monona, Wingra, Waubesa, and Kegonsa in the Capitol region. Other chains of lakes popular in Wisconsin also draw a wide variety of water recreation opportunities, including the chains around Eagle River, the Cisco chain on the Wisconsin-U.P. border west of Land O'Lakes, and the Waupaca Chain O'Lakes. In the south, Geneva Lake and its nearby companions – including Delavan Lake and Lake Como – draw plenty of crowds but still offer areas of serenity. Geneva Lake is one of the deepest spring-fed lakes in the state; Green Lake, in central Wisconsin, takes the title of the deepest. Its also hugely popular for boating, fishing, and water skiing. Up for whitewater rafting? Head to northeastern Wisconsin and check out the rapids on the Menomonee River! Comparisons to rivers in the Mountain West are frequently made to a section of the Menomonee between Niagara and Pembine, where the rapids and drops are truly an adventure. The Peshtigo River in Oconto and Marinette Counties also offers fantastic kayaking and canoeing; the whole area teems with waterfalls. For extra twists and turns, we recommend heading to the Driftless Region in southwestern Wisconsin and exploring the Kickapoo River, which is one of the crookedest rivers in the Midwest – if not the country. Some great options for rentals can be found in Ontario, near Wildcat Mountain State Park. We didn't forget the cities, either: explore charter fishing opportunities off the lakeshore in Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Port Washington, Sheboygan, Manitowoc, Algoma, Kewaunee, Sturgeon Bay, Green Bay, Oconto, or Marinette on Lake Michigan, or from Ashland, Bayfield, or Superior on Lake Superior! And for paddling in urban areas, it's hard to beat the La Crosse area on the Black and Mississippi Rivers – especially Pools 7 and 8 – or kayaking amidst the bustling action and tall buildings in Milwaukee on the Milwaukee, Menomonee, or Kinnickinnic Rivers in the heart of the city. Let's just say your options are many – and we offer plenty to choose from on The Cabin today!

Harmon fished competitively through his high school in Eagle River - anarea amidst the World's Largest Chain of Interconnected Freshwater Lakes – and continues to in college.Fishing teams among schools are growing significantly (which makes sense, since fish cluster in schools,too.) Part of the conversation includes how the tournaments work and how they're growing in thestate. We also discussed best times of the season to fish – depending in part on what types of fish you'reafter – and the benefits or lack thereof of various types of cover.Some locations noted include “pools,” including Pools 7 and 8 in the Mississippi River in the La Crossearea and the Winnebago Pool waters consisting of Lakes Poygan and Butte de Morts along the FoxWaterway heading into Lake Winnebago, where sturgeon spearing is quite popular in winter. The watersin Green Bay and Lake Michigan around the Door Peninsula and Sturgeon Bay offer unique world classfishing opportunities. Chains of lakes include the largest in the Eagle River and St. Germain areas, as wellas the Hayward Lakes chains along with the Chippewa Flowage in northwestern Wisconsin. In centralWisconsin, the chain of lakes around Waupaca and the Mendota/Monona/Waubesa/Kegonsa chain in the Madison area offer excellent fishing, with smaller gems nearby like Hope Lake, Lake Ripley, and RockLake in Lake Mills. Spring-fed Green Lake is another fishing gem, and with depth going down severalhundred feet, it is the deepest inland lake in the state. Along with Lake Winnebago, Lake Koshkonongoffers many benefits of shallow lake fishing, especially with many areas offering cover. The manyinterior rivers of Wisconsin offer incredible fishing opportunities, with some of the best being Wolf Riverin northeastern and central Wisconsin, the Brule River in northwestern Wisconsin (known as the “Riverof Presidents” for its history), and the Kickapoo River in the Driftless Area, where trout streams abound.Along the Great Lakes coastlines, areas like Bayfield on Lake Superior and ports at Sheboygan, Algoma,Kewaunee, Port Washington, Racine, and Kenosha offer fantastic options for charter fishing and evenjust fishing off of piers and breakwaters. The bottom line? If you want to fish, Wisconsin has practicallyevery option you could want in nearly every part of the state across every season.

Ana, Eric, and Josh head to Rhinelander in this Bonus episode where we welcome Lauren Sackett intoour mobile Cabin – which set up in her offices at the Rhinelander Chamber of Commerce – to talk aboutwhat Eric calls the “James Brown of the Northwoods – the hardest-working town up here.” Rhinelanderdoes have quite a history of manufacturing prowess that has gone with the city's lumber processinghistory, a nod to its location along the Wisconsin River. Murals salute this history, and you canincreasingly find such references in the downtown area. One of the main topics is Rhinelander'slegendary Hodag, which celebrates 130 years in existence in 2023. The legend has received nationalattention since its inception, getting mentions on Scooby Doo episodes and a shout-out in one of J.K.Rowling's books. The Hodag still looms large, having just been named the best high school mascot in thecountry. We discuss how the Hodag has changed over years, the small statues of hodags around town(and by the way, you can pose with the World's Largest Hodag statue at the Rhinelander Chamber), andhow you can go around and visit the hodag statues and win prizes. There's a large and relatively uniquecountry fest every July in Rhinelander called the Hodag Country Festival; we discuss that and the firstHodag Heritage Festival that just took place in May. We also cover other places to visit in Rhinelander,from historic locales to emerging restaurants and shops that showcase the increasing diversity in cuisineand recreation options in town. It's all capped off under the beautiful green dome atop the OneidaCounty Courthouse. Check out all the details in this fun Bonus episode!

This bonus episode is part of the Uniquely Wisconsin series, a broadcast and streaming series that spotlights the untold stories of Wisconsinites and highlights the communities in which they live. From the emotional and heartwarming, to the humorous and the historic, the Uniquely Wisconsin brand captures the essence of the people of America's Dairyland. While still a Discover Wisconsin feel, we're doing a deeper dive into the culture that makes up each county and how it forms Wisconsin's culture. This week, we highlight Sauk County.We begin with facts about Sauk County, noting its incredible natural beauty and variety in landscapes, robust towns, and interesting history. Baraboo, the county seat, is home to the Ringling Brothers Circus as well as the AL. Ringling Theater, Mansion, and Brewery. It also offers visitors the Ochsner Park Zoo, Driftless Glen Distillery, Circus World Museum, and nearby access to Devil's Lake State Park. Other places to explore include Reedsburg, Merrimac, Spring Green, Wisconsin Dells, and more.In terms of Community Support, we discussed People Helping People, a nonprofit based in Baraboo founded by Bill & Yvette Harris. Designed to help people pay each other forward, People Helping People programs include “Adopt a Family,” “Stomp Out Hunger,” and “Adopt a Veteran” along with a school supply and work ready program, where they offer mentorship and free career training to those in need.Looking towards the future, Gavin Farms is a place where, at an active farm that dates back generations, people can learn more about caring for animals and the land, where their food comes from, and how you can discover ways to eat local, cleaner, and enjoy more flavor and nutrition from your meals.The natural beauty of Sauk County can be expressed though many examples, and the Great Sauk State Trail is a wonderful way to enjoy them. Wisconsin's newest state trail, it was established in 2017 on an old railroad bed. The Great Sauk Trail provides a beautiful trip through the history and geology of Sauk County, following the Wisconsin River past Prairie du Sac and Sauk City…and then up through the Merrimac area.Tumbled Rock Brewery & Kitchenis an example of the growing craft beer, wine, and spirits trend in Sauk County. Perched right along Highway 136 by the entrance to Devil's Lake State Park, Tumbled Rock offers a variety of unique craft brews, an extensive menu from pizzas to artisan crafted dishes, and an expansive place to sit, relax, and enjoy music between its main restaurant building and the tap room and brewery across the way.
