Steelhead
Steelhead fishing near Mineral Point, Wisconsin, means venturing to the tributaries that feed into Lake Michigan. While Mineral Point itself lacks direct access to steelhead runs, rivers like the Root River, and the Kewaunee River, a reasonable drive away, offer excellent opportunities. These fish are anadromous, migrating from Lake Michigan to spawn in freshwater streams. The peak seasons are typically spring and fall, coinciding with these spawning runs. Focus on areas with gravel beds, riffles, and deeper pools. Egg patterns, nymphs, and small spoons are all effective. Be aware that river conditions can change rapidly, especially after heavy rain, so check local reports before heading out. Public access points are available along many of these rivers, but be mindful of private property boundaries. Remember to check the Wisconsin DNR website for current regulations and stocking reports.
