Smallmouth Bass
Allouez, Wisconsin, might not be the first place that comes to mind for smallmouth bass, but the Fox River offers a surprisingly good fishery for these hard-fighting bronzebacks. Focus your efforts around rocky areas, bridge pilings, and any submerged structure you can find. Smallies in the Fox River tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures can be effective. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish are more active in cooler water temperatures. Summer can also produce, but you'll want to fish early and late in the day. Access to the Fox River is available through several parks in Allouez, providing ample opportunities for both bank fishing and launching small boats. Be aware of the current, especially after heavy rains. A local tactic involves using tubes or craw-imitations rigged on a jighead and slowly dragging them along the bottom. The smallmouth here are scrappy and provide a good challenge for any angler.
