Rainbow Trout
While Kaukauna isn't immediately known as a trout hotspot, the nearby stretches of the Fox River and some of its tributaries do offer opportunities for Rainbow Trout, particularly stocked fish. The Wisconsin DNR stocks trout in specific locations throughout the year, so checking their stocking reports is crucial for planning your trip. Spring and fall are the prime times to target these fish, as water temperatures are more favorable. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or small minnows are all effective. Access to the river is available at several parks and boat launches in and around Kaukauna. A local tip: focus on areas with faster-moving water and deeper pools. Be aware of any specific regulations regarding trout fishing on the Fox River or its tributaries, as they may differ from general statewide regulations. The stocked Rainbow Trout provide a fun and accessible fishing experience close to town.
