Ice Fishing
Trespassing on rail road tracks
6/2/15 @ 8:10 AM
In case you haven't heard, WI state law was changed in 2006 no longer allowing people to walk directly across r/r tracks. Last Winter r/r "detectives were warning ice anglers they could be cited to trespassing. This will also effect shore anglers, hunters, trappers, anyone who has to cross tracks to access especially the Mississippi River.
I've written 8 politicians so far but we need numbers to get their attention. Please consider contacting State Representatives Nerison, Brooks, Doyle and Tranel, State Senators Marklein, and Schilling. I also wrote Cngressman Kind and DNR Secretary Stepp.
One response back thus far. "The Senator will discuss this with his legislative colleagues to see if there is wide-scale interest in making a change to the law."

They cracked down in my area many years ago,2006 sounds about right. Lost a few great fishing spots we have been fishing since we were kids. Old abandon rail road bridge we used to just slay the Crappies off of. Another bridge you just had to walk over to get to some great spots. Now it's zero tolerance,you get a trespassing citation no questions asked.
