We’re not the only ones watching. The cam has made it to the AP wires and is now showing up on local media channels. I head it on FOX news Friday night. Here’s the AP release:
Wisconsin Web attraction: Underwater cam shows spawning walleyes, sturgeon in Wolf River

SHIOCTON, Wis. (AP) — Anglers who can’t get on the water are getting the next best thing by viewing spawning walleyes, sturgeon and other fish on eastern Wisconsin’s Wolf River via Web cam.
Gary Bunnell operates the Web site http://wolfrivercam.com using underwater cameras in the river near Shiocton and Fremont.
Comments posted on the page show it’s getting hard for fishing enthusiasts to resist, even though they sometimes can watch and see no fish. At other times, they watch a steady flow.
Bunnell said he started the project as a hobby, and it apparently attracts so much interest because it captures the natural movements of the fish.
The Internet audience has come from as far away as Australia.
