RHINELANDER - We'll see some chilly temperatures this weekend, but that probably won't stop fishermen from heading out on the ice.
The Rhinelander Lions Club will host its 39th annual Fisherree and Winter Festival this weekend. Event Co-Chairman Harry Helwig doesn't think single digit temperatures will scare people off.
"Up here in Northern Wisconsin we dress properly. Everybody wears boots, or whatever; snowmobile parkas or snowmobile suites and so on," Helwig said. "They're very wind protective. This isn't going to be their first time fishing in most cases either. They have been out parts of this winter."
