Steelhead
Steelhead fishing near Port Edwards, WI, offers a thrilling experience for anglers willing to brave the cold. These migratory rainbow trout ascend the rivers that flow into Lake Michigan, providing excellent sport fishing opportunities. The prime time for Steelhead is generally in the spring and fall, coinciding with their spawning runs. Focus your efforts on rivers with gravel beds and riffles, as these are preferred spawning locations. Techniques such as drifting beads or yarn flies under a float are highly effective. A local tip: pay close attention to water levels and clarity; Steelhead tend to be more active in slightly stained water. Access to many of these rivers is available through county parks and public land. Be prepared for long days and challenging conditions, but the reward of landing a chrome-bright Steelhead is well worth the effort.
