Fishing in Milwaukee

Milwaukee fishing charters offer access to Lake Michigan's world-class salmon and trout fishery, renowned as one of the top destinations on the Great Lakes. Anglers target trophy Chinook salmon exceeding 20 pounds, acrobatic Coho salmon, hard-fighting Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and deep-water Lake Trout. Year-round opportunities include exceptional winter Brown Trout fishing, where Milwaukee's ice-free harbor allows charter boats to operate even in colder months.

The city's prime location provides diverse fishing environments, from nearshore structures to deep basins between Milwaukee and Racine. Professional charters utilize advanced technology including sonar, GPS, and premium tackle to maximize catches. Trips include high-quality rods, reels, and cleaning services, with comfortable cabins and restrooms on larger vessels.

Lakeshore State Park enhances accessibility with 24-hour shoreline fishing, wheelchair-friendly docks, and seasonal runs of spawning salmon and trout. Milwaukee’s vibrant waterfront and downtown amenities complement the fishing experience, making it an ideal destination for combining angling adventures with urban attractions.

Milwaukee Fishing Seasons

January

Right now, it’s all about Brown Trout on the Great Lake. Milwaukee’s big harbor is open for anyone who wants to get some Brownies while the lake is frozen. 

February

Even though Brown Trout in Milwaukee Harbor are the prime target now, Lake Trout and Steelhead are also there to be found. Winter fishing can be prolific!

March

Tributaries are full of both Brown Trout and Steelhead. You can be at the mercy of the weather, but with a right guide, you may open the Milwaukee season earlier than anyone else!

April

The Milwaukee Harbor area holds the best Brown Trout around. Limits of Lake Trout are also common. The air might still be a bit chilly, but the fishing is hot!

May

The action for Coho Salmon is almost non-stop. Rainbow Trout are as active as Kings - if you are up to a mixed bag, search for Trout and Salmon nearshore.

June

Enjoy some fast-paced fishing for Coho and grill your catch later. Don’t forget about Lakers and Brownies! This part of the season is all about catching the limits.

July

Port of Milwaukee is full of all three species of Trout, along with Coho and Chinook Salmon. Baitfish is also around. Enjoy acrobatic Steelhead and grilled Salmon after the trip.

August

Mature Salmon and Brown Trout come back to the ports to chill before they move upstream to spawn. Fish in and around Milwaukee Harbor to catch your own dose of Milwaukee's best species!

September

The spawning runs have begun, so head to the harbor for Chinook and Coho. The fish are just perfect for smoking! Brownies and Lakers are also here.

October

The King run is settled down so it’s time to be back out in the lake for a mixed bag. An early autumn trip for Salmon and Trout is a good way to wrap up the season.

November

Right after Halloween, you can head to the tributaries for the spawning Salmon. The occasional Lake Trout and Steelhead are also found in the Milwaukee River. 

December

The Brown Trout bite in Milwaukee Harbor is improving. As the water drops below 40 degrees, the fishing is improving. Get your Christmas catch!
