Kewaunee Co.

Kewaunee- There was a consistent amount of catch along Kewaunee
River late in the week and weekend. The pier and shore have seen little action.
The Kewaunee Ramp had opened on the 20th for the first day of spring, but a
thin layer of ice is now forming early in the morning making it tough on boats.
At the beginning of the week the Kewaunee River off of E was mostly frozen. It
cleared up by the end of the weekend and is now open. There have been no
catches reported. The Kewaunee River is shallow around Devil’s Bend, and the
steadiest work for steelhead has been around the south side of the bridge near
Besadny using both wax worms and spawn. 7-10 lb rainbows were caught at the
Horseshoe mid and late week. Monday evening’s drizzle did not carry on to
Tuesday as expected, and a crowded holiday spooked the trout around footbridge.
There was decent brown trout fishing on the Lake with water reported at 35 F
and the best luck on red and white color.

Algoma - The Algoma Ramp was busy mid-week with anglers catching
19”- 24” brown trout. The mornings were calm though an east wind would
frequently pick up in the evenings. The Forestville Dam has refrozen. As of the
weekend, both the Ahnapee River and Stoney Creek are open. Stoney Creek has ice
and snow flanking its sides and the water is low. Steelhead are able to swim
upstream making it easy to sight fish. There has been good luck with fly rods
using both spawn and beads. The most success was had in the pools right before
S and parallel to Kennedy. The mouth of Stoney was reported at 34F. There were
very little brown catches off of the Ahnapee and X. Steelhead anglers took in
rainbows late in the week off the Ahnapee and W. Main Street using spawn. Folks
are looking for a strong rain and turbid waters come mid-April.
·
Locations from Duck Creek up to Geano’s Beach are mostly still
ice covered with patchy open water. No anglers were observed at any of these
locations on the two days that were surveyed (Friday and Saturday).
·
Fox River – Water temperatures have been staying relatively
cool, approximately 41-44°F, which in turn has been keeping the walleyes in
deeper water. There has still been hundreds of shore anglers and boaters out
attempting to catch a trophy walleye. Fairgrounds and Fox Point saw high
numbers of boaters on the warmest days, along with shore anglers at Voyager.
Numerous Whitefish have been caught while shore angling at Voyager. Due to the
high size limit the few walleyes that were caught were then released.

MANITOWOC COUNTY:
Sucker run has not really started as of yet, but once the warmer weather and
some rain comes, should make the run happen. Steelheads are coming up
stream a little right now, but like the suckers, still slow fishing. Fishermen
are showing up at the EAST TWIN and WEST TWIN rivers near the
dams. In Mishicot you will find fishermen along the park side of the EAST TWIN
and downstream from the Fire Station.
