Smallmouth Bass
If you're looking for scrappy smallmouth action in southeast Wisconsin, Neosho offers some overlooked opportunities. The Rubicon River, which flows near Neosho, is a classic smallmouth stream. While not known for trophy-sized fish, the Rubicon holds a healthy population of aggressive smallies that are eager to hit a well-placed lure. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are prime times. As water temperatures rise in the summer, focus on deeper pools and shaded areas. Fall can also be productive as the fish feed up for winter. A great access point is the public land along the river near the Highway 60 bridge. Wading is common, but be mindful of water levels, especially after heavy rains. Local tip: Small crankbaits and tube jigs fished slowly along the bottom are often effective. The smallmouth in this river tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different presentations until you find what they're hitting.
