Although excellent table fare, very few anglers specifically target channel catfish. Fish for channel cats if you want a species that easy to catch and excellent to eat. The Mississippi River is loaded with a diversity of fish that is unmatched in Wisconsin. With over 100 fish species, who knows what you ll catch is a phrase uttered frequently by many anglers. 2001 will be a great year to fish the Mississippi River.
Most species have populations and size structures that are in good shape.
To be successful when fishing the river, keep in mind the changing conditions such as water level, water temperature, flow and forage location. The more you think about why you did or didn t catch fish, the more successful you ll be in the future. All rights reserved.
