Smallmouth Bass
For smallmouth bass enthusiasts, Reedsburg offers access to the Baraboo River, a winding waterway that holds a surprising number of these hard-fighting fish. Summer and early fall are ideal times to target smallmouth, as the water is warmer and the fish are actively feeding. Look for rocky areas, current breaks, and submerged logs. Topwater lures, crankbaits, and tube jigs all work well. A practical tip: wading the Baraboo River can be a great way to access prime smallmouth habitat, but be aware of changing water levels and slippery rocks. Also, the smallmouth in this river are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic leaps, making for a memorable fishing experience. Consider using polarized sunglasses to spot fish holding in the clearer sections of the river.
