Frequently Asked Questions About Wisconsin Fishing Species

When is the best time to fish for Walleye in Wisconsin?

Spring (late April to early June) and late fall (October–November) are prime times for Walleye in Forest County. These months offer cooler water temps, active feeding patterns, and strong success rates—especially in lakes like Metonga and Pickerel.

What’s the top technique for catching Crappie in Forest County?

We often use light spinning gear with small jigs or live minnows in shallow bays and near structure. Spring and early summer are best, and these trips are ideal for kids and beginners. You’ll often catch Perch and Bluegill right alongside them.
