Roger's Outdoor Notes

FISHING REPORTS FOR MANITOWOC COUNTY:  Pier fishing has been hit or miss, but the cool nights have finally started to drop the water temperatures and the bite has started to pick up. Most bites come at first and last light. Both spoons and spawn have been productive. The chinook are finally starting to move up the East and West Twin Rivers with a few fish being caught in the holes and at the dams. In Manitowoc the stretch of river from the mouth to the hospital has produced chinook. Boat anglers have caught some fish by trolling crank baits up and down the river. No salmon have been reported upstream on the Manitowoc River near the dam or Branch river. Look for chinook run to pick up as the water temperatures drop and the days get shorter. In Brown County the fishing pressure has been very LOW pressure, mainly due to the rain and high winds.
