Brown Trout
While not as renowned as some other Wisconsin streams, the Sheboygan River near Kohler does offer opportunities for Brown Trout fishing. The river has benefited from stocking efforts and habitat improvement projects, leading to a decent population of browns. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times to fish for trout, with the cooler water temperatures triggering increased activity. Fly fishing is a popular method, with nymphs and streamers being effective choices. Spin anglers can also find success using small spinners and spoons. Access to the river can be found at various points along County Road Y. Be aware that the Sheboygan River can be subject to fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before heading out. The Brown Trout here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different presentations to find what they're biting on.
