Lake Michigan fisheries team report
Ozaukee County - Shore anglers in Port Washington have been catching a few coho and browns on spawn sacs and minnows in the harbor and near the power plant. Fishing off the pier in Port has been slow.
Milwaukee County - In Milwaukee numbers of salmon in the Milwaukee River have dropped off considerably, but a few chinooks can still be found in Kletzsch Park. Shore fishing at the Milwaukee lakefront has been slow.
Racine County - In Racine shore anglers have taken a few brown trout near the Pershing Park ramp. Both spawn and tube jigs have been the most effective baits. On the Root River, anglers in Lincoln and Island Parks have been catching good numbers of browns as well as coho. Flies and spawn have both worked well. Good numbers of chinooks, coho, and browns can also be found in Colonial and Quarry Lake Parks as well as near the Horlick dam, and black flies and egg patterns have been producing fish. Nearly 300 fish were processed at the Root River Steelhead Facility on Monday, Oct. 29. So far this season DNR crews have handled 3,513 chinooks, 774 coho, 96 steelhead, and 224 brown trout. Fish will be processed again on Thursday, Nov. 1.
Kenosha County - Shore fishing in Kenosha has been hit-or-miss. On good days, fair numbers of steelhead have been taken on spawn in the harbor. Fishing on the Pike River has been slow.
