Wisconsin DNR Reports

Boating anglers continue to have success in targeting chinook, coho, and rainbow trout here.

Fishing activity picked up quite a bit here this week. Walleye and perch were being caught in good numbers.

Anglers have seen consistent catches of chinook salmon and rainbow trout here.

Chinook fishing has been good here, with groups averaging two fish per trip. Multiple groups brought in catches of three, four and even six fish. The depth of catches ranged from 60-125 feet.

Catches of Coho remain solid, as most groups reported 4 to 8 per trip. One group recorded a catch of 20 fish.

Boat anglers targeting coho here are regularly catching their limits, and pier anglers are having success as well.

Boating anglers on this fishery reported catching walleye by trolling crawler harnesses and flicker minnows in 7 to 15 feet of water.

Anglers here reported the first push of coho salmon for the season this week, with most fish caught near the harbors around bait balls in 20 to 40 feet of water.

The best success here was found making long casts to areas of off-color water. Hair jigs and lipless crankbaits were the most productive.
