Wisconsin River, Wisconsin - Freshwater Fishing Report
Lake Wisconsin
The winds were downright brutal on Saturday but that didn't deter any of my clients from enjoying a day of fall walleye & sauger fishing out on Lake Wisconsin. The bite was better in the morning that it has been at any other time over the past week or so. It still could be better but it was nice to get into some decent fish for a change. Brad & Joel Benson caught nine walleyes & saugers on Saturday morning using blade baits and jig/minnow combo's. Four were keepers, two were overs & the other three shorties.
Saturday afternoon was back to the usual slow, slow fishing that we've seen a lot of this October. Despite that, Mark Mowbray stuck in out and made the most of it by landing a nice 22" walleye on a jig/paddletail/minnow combo and then put a keeper in the boat for supper as well with the same rig.

Bio: Hi, my name is Joel "Boog" Ballweg and I run professionally guided fishing trips primarily on Lake Wisconsin. I am a life long resident of this area and grew up fishing Lake Wisconsin and the Wisconsin river. Ballweg's Guide Service was started in 2003 and has grown every year since. Lake Wisconsin offers excellent fishing for walleye, sauger, crappie, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bluegills and white bass. We target walleye, crappie, bluegill and white bass. On average, I will spend between 75-100 days fishing on Lake Wisconsin and the Wisconsin river each year. Lake Wisconsin covers approximately 9000 surface acres and it is the furthest down stream reservoir on the Wisconsin River system. It is located about 30 miles north of Madison, Wisconsin. A strong network of local anglers and several other local fishing guides is an added benefit of growing up in this area. These guys know whats going on out on the water and sharing information helps all of us stay on top of the latest action. In addition, if you have a large group of anglers, we can arrange with the other local guides to accomadate you.
