Conditions : Northeastern Wisconsin: Marinette County - Fishing the dam at Peshtigo has been slow with a few chinook being caught, mostly on flies. Walleye and brown trout were being caught on the Menominee River from the dam at Hattie Street down to Stephenson Island. Evenings were the most productive time, with stick baits topping the list of lures.

Oconto County - Rain winds and cold weather kept many anglers home, but with the change in weather the anglers have returned with a vengeance. Water temperatures at the landings are in the mid 40s with good water clarity despite the rain. Shore anglers were having success with perch at both Oconto Breakwater Harbor and Oconto Park II. Lots of small fish but angler who put the time found larger fish. Crawlers and minnows were both working fished with bobbers or crappie rigs. There has been an influx of trout (browns) anglers in the Oconto River fishing the shallow riffles using flies and small to medium sized stick baits. Suzie's Rapids North or South has been a place to start.

Green Bay DNR Service Center area Brown County – Fox River anglers have been targeting walleyes and musky in the last few weeks. Fishing has been on the slower side for musky, but fishing pressure has been high. Most anglers were trolling for musky. Walleye fishing has been fair over the last week with most anglers jigging for them up by the dam. Walleye fishing has been fair over the last week at Bay Shore Park, with most anglers trolling for them. The wind and the bad weather over the last week has made it tough for most anglers to get out.

Manitowoc County - Anglers in the Two Rivers and Manitowoc area despite conditions that were not favorable for most of the period had a fair week of fishing. Although at times higher water, sediment, and floating debris made area rivers hard to fish, some nice trout and salmon were caught. On the West Twin River, chinook salmon anglers had success fishing near the larger Shoto dam. Friday afternoon was especially good for a handful of anglers fishing in the late afternoon. In the Manitowoc harbor, trout and salmon anglers had some success fishing in the unpleasant weather. Some chinook were still being caught inside the harbor near the Manitowoc River mouth. Sunday afternoon was productive for trout anglers with several Arlee rainbow trout landed. Another angler fishing near the car ferry dock at sundown on Sunday landed a large male spawning brown trout that weighed in at 13 pounds. Farther upstream on the Manitowoc River, chinook salmon anglers were picking up a few fish near Rapids (Highway R) and at Manitou Park but fishing was slow.

Sturgeon Bay DNR Service Center area Door County - Again this week, cool temperatures and rainy days made for less than ideal weather. A few anglers reported taking some kings trolling spoons and crank baits in the canal. No report of salmon action on Lake Michigan this week. Action off the piers at the Coast Guard Station remained poor. A few chinook salmon can still be seen swimming in most of the northern Door harbors. A few smallmouth bass were being taken in the Ellison Bay and Gills Rock area. Little Sturgeon Bay angles have been trolling for walleye with some success over the last week, but the weather here to has also played a big role in how many boats are getting out. Anglers have also been fishing musky in Little Sturgeon with some success. Most anglers have been casting for them inside of the bay.

Potawatomi State Park: Anglers are catching some perch in Sawyer Harbor this week. Launching piers are scheduled to be pulled from the harbor during the week of November 8. The fish cleaning station, sanitary dump station, shower building, and most campground wells are closed for the season. Potable water is available near the campground shelter.

Kewaunee County - Weather over this last week has been cool, windy, and rainy throughout the week making for some foul fishing weather this past week. Some kings continue to move up the rivers this week, but the numbers have started to drop off. Fish were still being caught in the Ahnapee and Kewaunee rivers from the mouths all the way up to the fish refuges below the dams. Success this week has been sporadic. Anglers that have been fishing in the harbors have been able to pick up a few browns and rainbows and maybe a coho this week, but upstream it is all kings.

Oshkosh DNR Service Center area All Winnebago System sturgeon spearing licenses must be purchased by Oct 31. Walleyes and crappies are biting on minnows in the Wolf River. Fall colors are beautiful where the leaves are still hanging on.
