Smallmouth Bass
While Lake Butte des Morts near Omro, Wisconsin, is primarily known for largemouth bass, it also holds a respectable population of smallmouth bass. The key to targeting smallmouth here is focusing on the rockier areas and deeper channels, which are less common than the weedy habitat favored by largemouth. Look for areas around bridge pilings, riprap, and any rocky points or drop-offs along the Fox River that flows through Omro. Small crankbaits, tubes, and drop-shot rigs are effective presentations. The best time to target smallmouth is typically during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler. Early morning and late evening are also prime times. A local's secret: try fishing near the mouth of the Wolf River where it enters Lake Butte des Morts; the current and rock structure often hold smallmouth. While the smallmouth in Lake Butte des Morts may not reach trophy sizes, they can provide exciting action and a change of pace from the dominant largemouth fishery.
