Smallmouth Bass
Looking for smallmouth bass near Combined Locks? The Fox River is your destination. The rocky bottom and current breaks provide ideal habitat for smallies. While present throughout the river, focus on areas with faster current and deeper pools. Summer and early fall are excellent times to target smallmouth, as they actively feed in preparation for winter. Tubes, crankbaits, and topwater lures can all be effective. Local anglers often target areas around the dams and bridge pilings. Public access is available at several parks along the river, including the Combined Locks park. The smallmouth population in this section of the Fox River is known for its feistiness. Be prepared for a good fight! Remember to check the Wisconsin DNR regulations for size and bag limits, and practice catch and release to help maintain this excellent fishery.
