Fishing

From the DNR's 2009 Fishing Report detailing fishing in the Northeast Wisconsin's Marquette and Waushara counties

"Numerous small pothole lakes along with small impoundments and portions of the Fox River create a diverse fishery in these counties.  The majority of these lakes are highly developed, but do provide good access.  Most of these lakes contain largemouth bass and panfish species, with some having low-density northern pike populations.Some may contain small populations of walleye due to stocking efforts.  

This part of the state contains some of the best trout fishing anywhere due to healthy populations of brown trout, brook, and rainbow trout combined with specific regulations for streams.  The Mecan, White, Pine, and Willow are very popular streams during the 'hex' hatch.  Most have good access, but always ask permission to walk through private land."
