Walleye Fishing and More Wisconsin is
known for some of the best Walleye fishing in the
Country. There are plenty of waters from rivers to lakes
that hold Walleye throughout Wisconsin. Many anglers
prefer planning a fishing trip to the
Northwoods of Wisconsin to catch their
fish, most of the lakes in the Wisconsin Northwoods are
known for great walleye fishing. Within a 45 minute to an
hour radius, you have some of the finest lakes to fish in
the entire state. The Eagle River chain of lakes has many
lakes with an abundance of walleye.
Minocqua,
St. Germain and the
Hayward Lakes area
also have plenty of beautiful lakes to fish for walleye.

Fishing Report
Afternoon or early evening hours are the
best times to target panfish.
Crappies found suspended in 6-15 feet
near weeds or along drop-offs. A 1/32-ounce jig or a gold
Aberdeen hook baited with a small fathead or rosy red
minnow suspended under a stick bobber has produced.
Casting a 1/32-ounce hair jig or jig-and-plastic combo
also worked great. Bait these with a waxworm for best
results. Place your bait close to cover and above the
school for best results. Crappies are in spawning stages,
and selective harvesting should be practiced.
Bluegill action best around green weeds
in 4-12 feet. A small jig or hook baited with a waxworm,
spike, butterworm or giant redworm suspended under a small
bobber will work well. A black ant fly or small
jig-and-plastic combo baited with a waxworm will also
produce. Place your bait just above the tops of weeds for
best results.
The Rock, Wisconsin, Wolf and
Mississippi rivers have produced a few walleyes. A jig or
river rig baited with a minnow, nightcrawler or leech has
produced. Casting a jig dressed with a 4-inch ringworm,
twister tail, or paddle tail was also effective. Anglers
also did well casting minnow or shad style crank baits.
White bass, crappies and catfish have
been caught on the rivers. A three-way rig with a streamer
fly baited with a large fathead minnow has worked well for
white bass. Casting a 1/16- or 1/8-ounce jig dressed with
half a nightcrawler or 2-inch plastic tail also produced.
Crappies will be found in shallower water near fallen
trees. A 1/32-ounce jig or No. 6 Aberdeen hook baited with
a small fathead minnow suspended under a bobber will take
crappies. Catfish were caught using a three-ay rig with
stink bait, nightcrawlers, or a cut-up sucker.
Located in Dane
County Wisconsin, Lake Mendota has a 3-fish 18-inch walleye limit.
On Lake Mendota try pitching a half night crawler or leech
into pockets on the outside edge of the weeds on a
1/16-ounce black jighead.
Located in
Shawano County Wisconsin, when walleye fishing Lake
Shawano target some of the shallow reefs along the lake's
east end that top out at about 10 feet by long-line
trolling deep-running minnow-imitating lures. Once walleye are
located, switch over to a jig-and-minnow presentation, or
a minnow under a slip-bobber during periods of low light.
During the Spring
and Fall, Walleye can be found close to the shorelines on
Lake Winnebago. In the Summer, large schools of walleye
are found roaming the vast open water of Lake Winnebago
chasing schools of gizzard shad, emerald shiners and
young-of-the-year drum or sheepshead.
Located in
Chippewa County Wisconsin, when walleye fishing Lake Wissota stay in
the 15-25 foot range. During the day use a jig and minnow
and as night approaches anchor and cast some slip bobbers
by any drop off.
