Smallmouth Bass
For smallmouth bass near Bellevue, Wisconsin, the Fox River is your go-to destination. This river system provides the rocky structure and current that smallmouth thrive in. Look for them around bridge pilings, rocky points, and deeper holes. Summer and early fall are excellent times to target smallmouth, as the water has warmed and the fish are actively feeding. Topwater lures, crankbaits, and tubes are all effective choices. A great local tip: Focus your efforts around the De Pere dam and the areas immediately downstream. The turbulent water and rocky bottom hold a significant number of smallmouth. Be aware of the current, and use heavier weights if necessary to keep your lure in the strike zone. The smallmouth population in the Fox River is healthy, with many fish in the 12-15 inch range and the occasional larger fish exceeding 18 inches.
