Largemouths, northern pike lead the way on Chute Pond in northeast Wisconsin

Chute Pond supports a good overall fishery, based on results of a 2024 comprehensive survey (early spring, late spring, and fall). While most fish species have shown decreases in abundance compared to the 2013 survey, catch rates of predator species (largemouth bass and northern pike) and prey species (panfish) are still quite high compared to similar waters. Growth rates are generally below average.

Wisconsin research takes a closer look at sturgeon spawn

As spring begins, warming temperatures and vibrant colors will return to the landscape and once again set the scene for the season’s main event in Wisconsin’s Winnebago system – the lake sturgeon spawning run through the Fox River and Wolf River drainages to spawn at over 70 possible sites.
These fish can move quickly and capture the public eye as they gather by the hundreds along the riverbank at sites such as Bamboo Bend in Shiocton, Sturgeon Trail in New London, and Sturgeon Park in Shawano.
