Lake Michigan fisheries team report
Ozaukee County - Port Washington shore anglers have been taking a few brown trout on spawn sacs in the harbor.
Milwaukee County - In Milwaukee anglers near the Summerfest grounds have been catching browns on minnows fished near the bottom. On the Milwaukee River, a few steelhead have been taken on spawn at Kletzsch Park.
Racine County - In Racine flows on the Root River are very low. Numbers of fish are dropping rapidly in the upstream parts of the river, but some steelhead and brown trout can still be found downstream near the Main Street bridge. The Root River Steelhead Facility is closed until spring. During the fall spawning season DNR crews handled 3,547 chinooks, 1,169 coho, 98 steelhead, and 242 brown trout.
Kenosha County - Shore fishing in Kenosha remains hit-or-miss. On good days, fair numbers of browns have been taken on spawn in the harbor.
Inland fisheries team report
Fishing reports have been scarce as most sportspersons concentrated on the deer hunt last week. Muskie season closes on November 30. As always, ice formation takes place first on shallow lakes that have less water mass to cool down. Anglers are reminded to take all safety precautions available, especially on first ice. Remember that geese roosting on lakes can leave areas of thin ice even into February. Ice is never completely safe.
