Manitowoc County – The county is starting to come alive for the spring time. Geese, turkeys, Sandhill cranes, and trumpeter swans can be found roaming the open fields throughout the county. Some of the inland lakes still have ice on them but most are starting to break up and become open water. Fishermen are taking to the rivers and streams for the spring fish run of steelheads. Now that water levels are lower anglers are having more success. The weather this weekend is supposed to be warm, about 55 degrees. It would be a great time to check out Point Beach State Forest or Collins Marsh Wildlife area. Bring boots and your camera, you never know what you will find. Get out and enjoy the great outdoors.- Alyssa R Neff-Miller, conservation warden, Mishicot
