Times to fish in Kenosha WI. Area

April 15-30      The beginning of the season the water is cold and the fish are just starting to show up in the area. Browns, Lakers and a few Cohos are the targeted fish.

May 1-15         The Coho run typically starts. This is when we start to get numbers of fish, Cohos being the majority of the catch. Kings, Rainbows, Lakers and Browns can also be mixed in.

May 15-31       This time period is usually the fastest action of the year. The Coho bite should be in full swing. Limit catches can be the norm. Cohos range between 3 and 6 lbs., perfect for novice anglers to handle. Cohos are the best eating fish in the lake. Kings, Lakers and Rainbows can also add to the excitement.

June 1-15         The Coho bite is still our main target, with the fish gaining size and strength. Kings are showing up with more regularity. Rainbows and Lakers are more common in the bag.

June 16-30       Some years the Cohos are still hanging around on the schools of baitfish and gaining weight and size. The seasonal movement of the Kings, Rainbows and Lakers are targeted as we work the waters outside of the “Kenosha hills”. This is the time for good numbers of nice sized fish.

July      The Cohos are starting to scatter. We are starting to go deeper into the lake where we are targeting Kings, Rainbows, and Lake trout. This is typically the time for our largest catches of the year. The weather is more stable and the fish are putting on the feedbag before spawning. Best time for a “Grand Slam” all five species in the box.

August     This is trophy time. The fish are at peak size of the year. Kings, Cohos, Rainbows and Browns all stage closer to shore to get ready for the spawn. This is the time to try for your personal best of these trophies.

September      Mature Kings, Cohos, Brown trout and Rainbows are being caught in shore. The deeper water off shore holds younger silver Kings, Cohos, Rainbows and Lakers, great eating and full of fight.

October           We will be targeting the deeper water off shore for silver Kings, Cohos, Rainbows and Lake trout which will make up the catch. Brown trout are taken near shore throughout the fall season.

We take the boat out around October 15^th. For the winter dry dock.
