dont know about the wisconsin side of the lake but I grew up on lake michigan on the michigan side at the start of the whole salmon introduction into the great lakes. the current salmon fishery in the great lakes aka lake michigan is not in very good shape and I would skip it if I were you. you can find info on the michigan dept of natural resources web pages. At the hey day of the salmon fishery you could just about walk across the smaller streams and not get your feet wet the salmon were so many when they returned to the rivers to spawn, now a combination of factors has caused the population to many yrs ago crash and the DNR states it will likely never recover. Snagging was legal and we did it by the millions, people set up for a week or more and canned their own fish on the bank, etc, etc, now forget it not many left. If you want a 2 page details on the hows and whys of salmon in the great lakes PM me, I lived it on the shore of lake michigan specifically holland, michigan. or do a google search of how and why salmon were put in the great lakes. wisconsin boys i doubt ever had the numbers of salmon we did, but i am certain there population has crashed too because the food base is gone in lake michigan.
