Discover Wisconsin Tourism Offerings - From Pro Steelhead Fishing Tournaments To Amatuer Fishing Vacations

Join the Wisconsin Travel Guide - Fishing Challenge: One of the Wisconsin travel boasting points is the geography that they have Lake Michigan and the tributaries that flow from it guiding the sport fish from the deep waters of the lake to the shallow areas of the streams inland. Here you can try your luck at catching the “rainbow trout” that has been developing to huge lengths in the depths of Lake Michigan. Sport Fishing isn’t easy; it is more similar to hunting and fishing combined than just stream hunting in a wooded region in the midwest.

One of the more popular is sports fishing in Northern Wisconsin tourism. The steelheads are thought to be shy when they come into the warm waters to spawn. They are comfortable with the depth and cold of the large lake but it is required to journey into the tributaries to spawn. They are difficult to catch because of their being shy. You will need to be quick to move silently and slowly and with focus to have them take the hook.

Only 2 of the species are found in the Ganaraska and the Chambers Creek tributaries. These two have later winter/early spring runs that typically occur between approximately February and Early. At times the runs are later depending on when it begins to warm up. At the earliest temperature increase the fish will show up.

Some get their hook as near to the bottom of the river as possible. Some use a bobber to hold it just off the bottom and raise it toward the face of the Steelhead (if you can see it or by luck if you can’t). As the fish bites the hook be ready to run with it for a while since it will take off. The fish is heavier than you probably have thought it should be and if you aren’t experienced it will take your line, break it and be gone. A eighteen pound steelhead can break a 10 lb. line instantly unless you are prepared to move with it until you can bring enough drag on the line to wear it out.

Wisconsin has many Lake Michigan river streams that engage fine steelhead runs. The most popular rivers for steelhead fishing around Lake Michigan include the Kewaunee, Root, Oconto, Manitowoc, Menominee, Milwaukee, East Twin, Peshtigo, Ahnapee, and West Twin rivers. Smaller steelhead rivers include the Pigeon, Little, Pike, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic rivers; Stony, Oak, Heins, Sauk, Whitefish Bay, Fischer, Silver, and Reibolts creeks.

So bring your fly rod, get in the car and come to Wisconsin for all of the best Wisconsin Dells attractions experiences. The steelheads are waiting, the towns are friendly and the area is gorgeous.
