The Wolf River: Of Eastern Langlade County Wisconsin

2024

Synopsis

The Wolf River of Wisconsin is the largest free stone river east of the Mississippi that still holds trout. Despite the historical abuse, the river has become one of the top trout streams in the mid-west. While time, resources and money goes elsewhere, the Mighty Wolf flourishes. Over 80% of the land along the river is public, and 99% is forested. The elevation drops 449 feet in the 36.6 miles of trout water through eastern Langlade County. It is as wild as a river can be in 2024. This book shatters the misconception of the dying river. Twenty-six years of fishing logs provide the data, which includes 939 days, over 3,480 hours, and 2,578 trout. This book shows the importance of protecting such a resource for the future, as those of the past did for us.
