The fishing is probably best for northern pike, largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, however, many anglers that visit this area like to target walleye.

Secondary Species of Fish
This part of Wisconsin is not known for its muskie fishing, but you can target them here in a few places and some quality fish are caught in this area. The panfish fishing can actually be quite good on many of the lakes in this area, but you will have to sort through some smaller fish to find the bigger fish that are great for the frying pan. Trout are also available if you’re interested in doing some river fishing for trout.
