Kenosha is located in the southeastern part of Wisconsin. It is close to the Illinois /
Wisconsin border on the west side of Lake Michigan. It is a very popular destination for
fishermen because of Lake Michigan and the Pike River. Lake Michigan and the Pike
River attract thousands of anglers every year. The lake offers some tremendous
fishing for salmon and trout. During the months of May and June, the coho action picks
up close to the shorelines. Charters bring in many limits during this time of year as the
Coho cruise along feeding on bait fish in the shallows. During the summer, King
Salmon and Steelhead are the main targets. In the fall, you can catch Kings, Coho,
Steelhead and Brown Trout as they approach the shallows for the spawn. During the
fall, big salmon and trout can be caught close to the shorelines. Many anglers report
good catches from shore during this time of year. If you are looking for Brown Trout,
many anglers report good catches very early in the spring and during the end of fall
through the month of November. If you can brave the temperatures, there are some
nice brown trout to be caught.
The Pike River (also known as Pike Creek) is a tributary of Lake Michigan that enters
the lake approximately one mile north of the city of Kenosha. The Pike offers many
opportunities in the fall. King Salmon, Coho, Brown Trout and Steelhead can be caught
in the Pike River, however, the majority of the fish will be King and Coho Salmon. When
timing the fall run, you need to watch for a good amount of rain and some cold weather.
The first couple weeks of October are usually the best times to fish the river, but you
can catch fish from September into November. The mouth of the Pike offers some
excellent fishing also. The fish will stage at the mouth until they get some rain and cold
weather. Many anglers fish the river and the lake near the mouth and both spots can
be very productive. Timing is key for catching fish near the mouth and in the river
