Fox River

Thanks!

Bruno.  Try the park at 7 Waters Trail off of hy 36/83 near Burlington.    

Hi,

I’ve fished the Fox River around Algonquin a number of times but would be interested in having a chance to fish it in Wisconsin particularly where I could wade fish.  Looking for a mixed bag catch and release.  Any recommendations or suggestions on locations? Thanks!

Pishtaka has been stocking walleyes both above and below the Waterford Dam for as long as I can recall.

We get a table every year at their banquet / auction!

Won a double barrel 2 years ago!

If I recall, the annual banquet is April I believe - always a great time!!  

Very interesting that they say there is no reproduction.
I guess present-day it could be accurate.
I'm dating myself pretty far back when stating I witnessed spawning activities. Probably early 2000's.
Another question would be if they were actual successful spawns?  
Does anyone know how long the club mentioned has been stocking Tichigan? 

Fowler.   Very interesting observation!      The DNR states that there is NO natural reproduction of walleyes in the system and I find that hard to believe.    I would think that some would run upstream and find the right conditions somewhere.      Maybe someone has more knowledge about this than I do.

Carp, how about ​natural ​reproduction? 
Years past when I lived on the west shore, if conditions were aligned, we witnessed spawning ​activities early spring along the shoreline..
I do recall catching dinks on ​occasions.

Thanks Brent.   I googled Pishtaka and it was very informative. I now know where that 12” dinky walleye came from.

Every year Pishtaka has been stocking Walleyes.

I'm not aware of any recent DNR stocking...

If it was planted by the DNR, then no.  They may clip or tag walleyes during surveys, but not during mass stockings of fingerlings.
