Excellent fishing that Green Lake boasts might surprise you. Less than an hour’s drive from Lake Winnebago, you might expect to find similar angling here, but the experience you get is totally different. Green Lake is much smaller and much deeper – it’s the deepest inland lake in Wisconsin! If you're coming here for the first time, don't worry, Green Lake fishing charters will help you find your way to the best catch.
You can catch a good amount of Walleye in Green Lake, so don’t worry about missing out! There are some first-class Smallmouth Bass in the lake (some more than 5 pounds), as well as Largemouth Bass, Musky, and bulky Northern Pike. Lake Trout thrive here, enough to become the lake’s trophy fish. Targeting schools of White Bass and Perch is common, and you can also find bottom dwellers like Catfish. There’s lots of delicious Panfish, among which Crappie is the most popular.
Green Lake has it all! When you're picking a trip with one of the local fishing charters, you can go for a 4-hour beginner trip and target tasty Panfish. If you're more ambitious, take an 8-hour adventure to pursue trophy-sized Pike and Lakers. Trips can be adjusted to your skill level because there’s so much to choose from here! A year-round fishing season lets you drop a line even when the lake freezes over, and ice fishing is very good on Green Lake. For traditional fishing, the peak season runs from May–August.
You’ll find Green Lake fishing charters directly on the lake, there's a good number of them in the city of Green Lake as well. You can also count on guides from nearby lakes, since they trailer their boats. No matter what you already know about catching fish, you’ll definitely learn something new here. Come and spend an exciting day fishing at Green Lake!
