Oconto County Fishing Report September 3, 2009
Water temperatures at the landings are at the 70 degree mark with excellent water clarity. Fishing pressure has been moderate to heavy due to the fact the perch bite has started. The bluegill bite at Stiles Dam remains good with some nice fish being taken on leaf worms and crawlers. Slip bobbering or free floating is the technique that has been working the best. Anglers at the Pensaukee Landing, Oconto Breakwater, and Oconto Park II were all reporting some real quality catches of perch. Suspending minnows near bottom in 9 to 12 feet of water has been working well at this time. Oconto Breakwater Park has been producing some nice chinook salmon and brown trout with anglers fishing with spoons, early morning and evenings.
