The Pensaukee River is a fairly shallow river that empties into Green Bay very close to the town of Pensaukee. There is a boat launch here that many anglers use to fish the river or the bay. This river is popular among paddlers. The shallow waters are perfect for canoe, kayaks, rowboats and inflatables. This river doesn’t see the huge spawning migrations that you will see on some of the other tributaries on Green Bay, but some nice fish are still caught here, especially in the spring and fall. Smallmouth bass, walleye, pike, muskie and perch are common catches in the river.
Near the River Mouth
River mouths will congregate fish, especially in the spring the fall. You can target walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike, perch and more out in the bay near the river mouth.
