There are many other small streams that also contribute water to the Wolf River in this area. It is a natural river with lots of boulders and a rapid gradient in many locations.
The best trout waters occur in the 40 mile section between Highway T and south to Highway M. This section of the river is divided into 10 different access points. This part of the river has a steep gradient that creates many complex rapids. This part of the river should be used by experienced river anglers. Brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout are available in these waters.
Smallmouth bass are found the entire length of the river in Langlade County, so you can find them in the trout section of the river as well as the slower moving part of the river. From Post Lake dam to Highway T, the river is a slow moving river that is easy to float with a canoe, kayak or other type of small boat. In addition to smallmouth bass, you will find northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, muskie and some panfish too.
