Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing in Muskego is a hidden gem. While Big Muskego Lake gets most of the attention, the smaller, interconnected lakes and canals often hold surprisingly good numbers of smallies. These fish relate strongly to rocky areas, docks, and submerged wood. Spring, after the spawn, and fall, when water temperatures cool, are the most productive times. Look for rocky shorelines and points, especially those exposed to wind. Tubes, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are effective lure choices. A local tip: try fishing the canals connecting the lakes with small crankbaits or jigs. The current in these areas can concentrate baitfish and attract smallmouth. The smallmouth in Muskego aren't generally huge, but they are aggressive fighters and offer a lot of fun on light tackle. Access is good via public boat launches, but be prepared to navigate some shallow and weedy areas to reach the best smallmouth habitat.
