Monroe Reservoir (all postings)

d39, I am thinking of coming down (live in Wisconsin) to visit sister-in-law this coming spring. While the two sisters go through that bonding stuff, I would like to fish - strictly C&R, and I would be targeting bass. The time for the trip is not established, but hoping for it to be late March or April. I would be willing to share spots in Wisconsin if you wish. burroak
