Lake Michigan fisheries team report 10.1.09
« on: October 01, 2009, 12:12:03 PM »
Sheboygan County -
In Sheboygan fishing has been generally slow for anglers off the piers, but a few chinooks and rainbows have been taken. Sheboygan trollers have been catching chinooks and rainbows from the harbor out to 135 feet of water. Most fish have been taken from 20 to 70 feet down on spoons. Water levels remain low on the Sheboygan and Pigeon rivers, but in the Sheboygan chinooks have been caught as far upriver as the Kohler dam. Northern pike and smallmouth bass have also been hitting small spoons and spinners in Kiwanis Park.

Ozaukee County -
Shore fishing has picked up in Port Washington. Anglers have been catching browns and chinooks near the power plant and in the north slip. Spawn and glow spoons have produced the most fish. Fishing on Sauk Creek has been slow, and water levels are low.

Milwaukee County -
 In Milwaukee trollers have been catching chinooks 60 to 80 feet down in 100 to 140 feet of water; and a few browns and chinooks have also been taken by boaters in the harbor and around the gaps. A few chinooks and rainbows have been taken out of Oak Creek, but water levels are low. Fishing on the Menomonee River has been slow, but some chinooks have started to move up the Milwaukee River. Chinooks can be seen jumping in Kletzsch Park, and there have also been reports of steelhead caught just north of Capitol Drive.

Racine County -
 Shore anglers fishing off the Racine piers and shoreline have been catching a few chinooks on spawn, and trollers working in front of the harbor have been catching them on spoons and crank baits. Water levels on the Root River are still on the low side, but rain over the weekend has triggered upstream movement of chinooks. Fish can be found from the river mouth up to the Root River Steelhead Facility. Wooley buggers have been productive for fly anglers, and spawn sacs and skein have both produced as well.

Kenosha County -
 In Kenosha shore a few chinooks and browns have been taken in the harbor on spawn sacs and white tube jigs, and other chinooks have been taken on spoons near the mouth of the Pike River. Water levels remain relatively low on the Pike, but some chinooks have been seen in upstream stretches.
