A pair of anglers try their luck at fishing May 16, 2022, at Suukjak Sep Lake at Pine View Campground in the Pine View Recreation Area at Fort McCoy. Fishing season at Fort McCoy opened May 7, and this lake is stocked with rainbow trout. Fort McCoy has 10 installation lakes and impoundments and approximately 71.2 miles of Coldwater streams and tributaries. The majority of the streams are class I trout waters maintaining naturally reproducing brook and brown trout. The impoundments on Fort McCoy cold-water streams provide a variety of uses for recreation, military training, and habitat for fish and wildlife. Anglers must have the appropriate Wisconsin licenses to fish on post, as well. This includes a general Wisconsin fishing license, a trout stamp if fishing for trout, and the Fort McCoy fishing permit. The cost of a Fort McCoy annual fishing permit is $13 for people age 16 and older. Permits for youth under 16, seniors, and disabled anglers and four-day fishing permits are $8. Again, all are available for purchase through the iSportsman website, https://ftmccoy.isportsman.net. (Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Fort McCoy Public Affairs Office)
