WOODRUFF - Fisherman across Wisconsin will see more friendly trolling rules at the beginning of July. The changes mean people can hang a hook, bait or lure out of their boat while the motor is moving it.
The new rule starts on July 1st and varies slightly depending on what county and lake you are fishing on this year.
DNR North District Fisheries Supervisor Mike Vogelsang says the old rule allowed a fisherman to keep a line vertical in the water while the boat was moved with a motor. However, he says that caused some problems.
