GO FISH!

The Winnebago system was formed 12,000 years ago and includes Lake Poygan, Little Lake Butte des Morts and Lake Winnebago. Together totaling 166,000 acres, accounting for 17% of Wisconsin’s inland water surface. Oshkosh alone has roughly 31 miles of water frontage and remarkably 11 miles of public access. With this amount of public access, Oshkosh has one of the most diverse shoreline fisheries in the state.

The Winnebago system, known for its world class walleye fishery, is frequently home to many local and national professional fishing tournaments and has a reputation of turning out many professional anglers. This is due to the multitude of tactics that are needed to consistently catch fish. Fisherman use many different tactics and types of fishing. From walleye on t-docks, catfish from the Riverwalk, pan fish in Millers Bay or bass on the rip rap, there are many areas to fish from. From bobbers to 3-ways, flies to jigs, your imagination is your only obstruction in how to fish these varieties of species. Go to visitoshkosh.com/blog for the latest fish tales!
