Rainbow Trout
While De Pere isn't primarily known for rainbow trout, the nearby tributaries of the Fox River, such as the Suamico River, offer some opportunities for anglers targeting these fish. Spring and fall are the optimal times, coinciding with trout stocking and spawning runs. Small spinners, spoons, and fly fishing techniques can all be effective. Focus on areas with riffles, pools, and undercut banks. A local tip: check the Wisconsin DNR stocking reports to see where recent releases have occurred. Remember to purchase the appropriate trout stamp in addition to your Wisconsin fishing license. The trout in these streams may not be huge, but they can provide a fun and challenging angling experience in a beautiful setting.
