Walleye
The Fox River as it flows through Appleton provides a unique urban walleye fishery. While it may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of walleye fishing, the river holds a surprisingly healthy population. Focus your efforts in areas with current breaks, such as bridge pilings, wing dams, and rocky shorelines. Spring and fall are the prime times to target walleye, as they move upstream to spawn or prepare for winter. Jigging with minnows or plastics is a classic technique, especially around current seams. Trolling crankbaits can also be effective, particularly in the deeper channels. A local's secret: night fishing can be very productive, especially during the summer months when the river is less crowded. Look for areas with artificial lights that attract baitfish. The walleye in the Fox River are known for their scrappy fight, thanks to the river's current.
