Rainbow Trout
If you're looking to hook into some feisty rainbow trout, Kewaunee, Wisconsin, should be on your list. The Lake Michigan tributaries in this area receive regular stockings of rainbow trout, creating a robust fishery. The spring and fall are prime times to target these fish as they migrate upstream. The Kewaunee River and Ahnapee River are popular choices. A local tip is to check the Wisconsin DNR stocking reports to identify locations with recent releases. Rainbows are often found in deeper pools and runs, especially near structures like fallen trees and rock formations. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers can be productive, as can drifting spawn sacs or using small spinners. The rainbow trout in Kewaunee are known for their energetic fights and willingness to take a variety of baits and lures. Remember to consult the Wisconsin fishing regulations for specific rules regarding rainbow trout, including size limits and catch-and-release requirements.
