Barren County, Wisconsin is home to several decent-sized lakes and some smaller lakes that give anglers a chance to catch a variety of fish species with some big fish too. The bigger lakes in this county will get plenty of fishing pressure during the summer months, but in the spring and fall, you can get on these lakes with less pressure. There is some very good fishing available throughout Barron County, Wisconsin.
Primary Species of Fish
Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike
Largemouth bass continue to flourish throughout Wisconsin’s waters and Barron County is no different. While most anglers may prefer to fish for walleye, muskie and panfish in this area, the area lakes have lots of largemouth bass and northern pike in them. If you’re looking for action from some game fish, pike and largemouth bass will keep you busy on many of the area waters.
Secondary Species of Fish
Muskie, Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, Perch & Bluegill
Muskie and walleye are secondary species of fish in this part of Wisconsin, however, those are the fish that a lot of anglers like to chase in this area. There are some waters that hold some nice muskie with fishable populations. Walleye are usually easier to catch in the spring and fall for most anglers. Panfish can be found in the area waters, but plan on sorting through plenty of small ones to find some keeper fish to eat. Smallmouth bass are here too, but definitely a secondary species of fish in this area.
