Wardens getting questions from anglers about Alabama, Umbrella rigs

Wisconsin conservation wardens again are fielding questions from anglers wondering if the Alabama Fishing Rig and the Umbrella Fishing Rig are legal to use in this state. The answer remains the same as it was during the 2012 season. It depends upon how you use these rigs.
