Amery, Wisconsin, offers some surprisingly good brown trout fishing, particularly in the Apple River and its tributaries. This area isn't as well-known as some of the Driftless Region further south, which means less pressure on the fish. The Apple River is a classic freestone stream with good riffles, runs, and pools that hold wild and stocked browns. Spring (late April-May) and fall (September-October) are prime times, coinciding with insect hatches and pre-spawn activity. Wading is the most common approach, but be aware that water levels can fluctuate quickly after rain. A local tip: access the Apple River from the public land near the Highway 46 bridge north of Amery. Also, be sure to check the Wisconsin DNR stocking reports, as supplemental stocking occurs annually. The browns here average 10-14 inches, but larger fish are always a possibility.
