Smallmouth Bass
Kingston, Wisconsin, offers some under-appreciated smallmouth bass fishing opportunities, primarily within the Fox River system. This area isn't as heavily pressured as some of the larger Wisconsin fisheries, allowing for a more secluded experience. The best time to target smallies here is late spring to early summer, after the spawn, when they're actively feeding. Fall is also productive as they bulk up for winter. Focus on areas with rocky structure, submerged timber, and current breaks. A local tip is to access the river via the public boat launch in Kingston and work your way upstream. Keep an eye on water levels, as the Fox River can fluctuate, impacting access and fish behavior. The smallmouth here average a respectable size, with the chance of hooking into a real trophy. Don't overlook using crayfish imitations and topwater lures during the warmer months for explosive strikes.
