Wisconsin is special for summer fishing

The first fishing trip outside the state I have ever taken was in Yellow Lake near Webster, Wisconsin. At 8 years old, I sat down immediately along the way in the rear seat of the Supreme Cutlass of Grandpa in 1986. Smiling by ear to the other, I dipped in all the miles and each new view. It was the first adventure in a line of many people. More than I can count. But it was the first, so it’s special. Wisconsin is special.

Time is a great reason why Wisconsin is an excellent summer destination. The mornings and fresh evenings persist throughout the season. Especially in the northern level of the state. There is more water than one could cover in two lives. From Lake Superior and Lake Michigan to tiny southwest streams of the region without drift, Wisconsin offers fishermen an abundance of opportunities to live world-class fishing. These six are just a sampling.

Turtle Musk flowing torch

There is nothing like fishing Northwoods in summer. Families go to the Turtle Flambeau region to fish for generations. Musk is not the easiest fish to catch. They are known as the fish of 10,000 casts, but catch one and you could be ruined for life. Musk fishing is hot just after opening the season. At the beginning of June is a great listening moment. Launching large musk baits is a laborious task, but when you hang one, you know you just did something special. Air, and you will have a memory to last a lifetime.

Mississippi River Largemouth at La Crosse

Drive the Mississippi river to St. Louis and you will barely believe the bass in large mouths live in “The Big Muddy”. The river is very different in the north of what it does in the south. Near the butt, it is an incredible fishing for the bass, the Arlequin crape, the northern pike, the perch and more. In summer, Largemouth accumulates on points where the river braids or cut them into berries. The Spinnerbaits worked along the lines of weeds will produce many days of number in September. The panfish are in the drops around the brush and weeds.

Clear Lake Smallmouth

At nearly 900 hectares of surface and 100 feet deep, Clear Lake offers a small mouth many places to hide. This magnificent natural body of water near Minocqua is the first at the end of August and September while the little mouth put on the food bag for the next winter months. The action of top waters on the main points of the lake should produce soon and later during the day. At noon, work on deeper weed lines where they go to rocky stockings. A slow rolled spinnerbait or a template worked along the outside edge of weeds should be more than a hungry bronzeback can manage.

Bluegills Onalaska

Sometimes you have to stay simple, and a few days of good blue fishing, that’s just that. Blue fishing does not require the need for fantasy equipment. Nothing caught the crap for Arlequin more than a worm under a bobber. Keep things simple. Onalaska lake is charged with chime. The lake of 8,391 acres in the County of the Crosse has a crape structure all around. Fish near the shore around the visible structure and weeds. Rightly, there are many places to fish along the fishermen’s road at the edge of the airport where you can find the Crapet Arlequin.

Sheboygan salmon

Sheboygan is one of the first salmon fishing destinations in the Great Lakes region. Fishing begins to resume in May and June near the port of Sheboygan. Kings can be found in shallow waters. The fishermen with their own boat capable of managing the large lake will manage well by trying different gear speeds to understand what salmon is looking for. For an all -inclusive trip, Wolf Pack Adventures offers everything a group needs for a salmon trip. Enter the boat at the quay and leaves the experienced crew takes care of the rest.

Namcagon trout

The Namekagon river is shallow and rocky. It is mainly a friendly fishing destination, but you can use a canoe or a kayak to move downstream. The namekagon is recognized as a wild and picturesque national river. Many fly fishermen visit the river in search of brown trout and stream. Dry fly fishing is popular sooner and later in the day all summer. Nymphs and small banners can draw the trout from the shadows during the day. Spin fishermen succeed well with online spinners, such as rooster tails or small stick baits. Under the Lac Namekagon dam is a popular place for trout fishermen. The Namekagon River fishing area north of Hayward offers 153 acres with access to the river.
