Rainbow Trout
While Kewaskum isn't known as a trout mecca, the Milwaukee River and its tributaries offer some opportunities for rainbow trout fishing. These streams are typically smaller and require a stealthy approach. Spring and fall are the prime times to target rainbows, as water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Focus on areas with riffles, runs, and pools, as these provide ideal habitat for trout. Fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies can be effective, as can spin fishing with small spinners and spoons. A local tip is to check the Wisconsin DNR stocking reports to see where trout have been recently released. This can help you narrow down your search and increase your chances of success. The rainbow trout population in these streams is maintained through stocking, so be sure to check the regulations regarding size and bag limits before fishing.
