Wisconsin Fishing
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 waters to fish for walleye.

 

Top Wisconsin Walleye Fishing Lakes

Lake Delavan

Located in Walworth County, Lake Delavan anglers can often reach the 3-fish 18-inch walleye limit.

Lake Mendota

Located in Dane County, 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.

Lake Shawano

Located in Shawano County, 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 fish are located, switch over to a jig-and-minnow presentation, or a minnow under a slip-bobber during periods of low light.

Lake Winnebago

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.

Lake Wissota

Located in Chippewa County, 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.

Wisconsin Fishing Report

 

Bluegills active along weed lines in 10 to 22 feet of water. A small jig tipped with a giant redworm, leafworm, small leech or waxworm has worked well. A 1/32-ounce jig-and-plastic combo or small jigging spoon tipped with a waxworm also has produced. Vertical jigging while drifting or a slip-bobber rig is the best way to present these baits.

Crappie fishing has been spotty. The best time to target crappies is during early morning and at night. Look for them suspended around weeds. A 1/32-ounce jig or Aberdeen hook baited with a small fathead minnow suspended under a slip bobber will work best.

Northern pike fishing continues to be great. Bigger pike were caught by fishing the deeper weed lines in 12 to 20 feet of water. A slip-sinker rig or jig baited with a medium sucker or large golden shiner has worked best. Many smaller pike were caught around weed flats using spinner baits, buzz baits, chatter baits, crank baits or Mepps spinners.

Largemouth bass found in mixed locations. Fishing around piers or in slop is best during warm, sunny days. Use wacky worms, shaky heads, tubes or nightcrawlers around piers, while plastic frogs work best in the slop. Deeper weeds, points or rocks in 12 to 18 feet of water also will hold fish. Texas-rigged plastics, jig-and-craw chunk combos, drop-shot rigs, crank baits, swim baits and large golden shiners will take these fish. During early morning and evening, fish the weed flats using top-water baits such as buzz baits, poppers Jitterbugs or spooks.

Smallmouth bass are found around rock bars or weed lines along drop-offs. Leeches, small suckers, tubes, skirted grubs, drop-shot rigs and top-water baits have produced smallies.

Walleye fishing has been good. Look for them around weeds in 18 to 25 feet of water. A jig or lindy rig baited with a leech, nightcrawler, jumbo fathead or medium golden shiner has produced. Trolling crank baits or nightcrawlers on spinner rigs with bottom bouncers also has produced. Early morning and at night are the best times to target walleyes.

Musky action is spotty on most lakes. Most of the fish were found along deeper structure. Trolling crank baits along breaks or over deeper water has produced. Casting plastic baits, jerk baits or top-water baits also has worked well.

Lake Michigan, Milwaukee Fishing

Wavering winds have kept trollers on the move from the 40-foot to 80-foot depths, but action is still great. Large spoons and J-Plugs run 30 to 40 feet deep off downriggers, lead-cores and Dypseys are taking a mixed bag of chinook salmon, coho salmon and an occasional lake trout. Whites and glows with green accents are still the hot colors. As always, the north shore has been great, but trollers working due east of our harbor also are doing well. With the murky waters near the harbor clearing, jig fishermen working the gaps also are taking chinook and brown trout. Anglers in small boats can trol the deeper waters of the harbor where browns and a few chinook have been active. Look for pods of bait and the trout will be close.
