Walleye

If you're looking to tangle with some Walleye near Seymour, Wisconsin, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Wolf River and its tributaries. This area offers diverse Walleye habitat, from the deeper main channels to the shallower, weedy backwaters. Spring is prime time, right after the spawn, when Walleye are actively feeding. Fall is another excellent window as they bulk up for winter. For bank access, try the Highway 55 bridge area – it's a popular spot with decent current breaks. If you're launching a boat, the Shiocton boat launch provides easy access to the Wolf. A local tip: Walleye in this system can be sensitive to water clarity. If the river is muddy after a heavy rain, try using brightly colored jigs or crankbaits to increase visibility. The Walleye here tend to be of good size, with opportunities for catching trophy fish, especially during the spring spawning run.
