How to Catch Milwaukee River Brown Trout and Steelhead

[@JosephSantodonato]

Great video. Most anglers watch videos not just for entertainment but also to learn. Your videos deliver in both areas.

[@Tony_Cass_]

Thank you! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos! Really appreciate this comment🙏🏼

[@Dr.Ratio69]

You are my favorite KZbinr in fishing now❤💪

[@Tony_Cass_]

Wow. That means the world! Really appreciate you watching! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thank u for the comment!

[@kevin6385]

Hello from Canada. Nice fish bro. Have some nice ones up here too

[@Tony_Cass_]

Very cool! Thanks for watchin! Really appreciate the comment!

[@purts2]

What kind of spinners do you like?

[@benburnett2820]

That’s a blue fox spinner (also my favorite). Size 2-3 is best from what I have found

[@Tony_Cass_]

Bluefox number 3 for the win😎

[@blaketaylor4735]

What sizes sinkers do u recommend to use in the river

[@AceBase5]

Do the move active fish usually sit above the rapids because everyone fishes for em below during the spring

[@Tony_Cass_]

Not necessarily. It depends more on their feed bag. The more active fish will sit in stronger current seams for short periods of the day to get food rushing down river. Fast tight pockets are a pinch point for all bait, debris, eggs, etc.

I very much enjoyed your video. Would be be willing to share where on the Milwaukee River you were fishing? I know you said downtown, and I could see a high rise building in the background, but that could be a lot of placing in downtown. Thanks, I have subscribed, and I will continue to watch.

[@Tony_Cass_]

Appreciate you watching! Thanks for the comment! The whole river is fantastic this time of year to catch trout! Head on out and give it a shot! Thanks for the support!

[@SpencerHarvey-j9n]

what size spinner do you use? Is 4 too big?

[@bobgiles2971]

Definitely need to make a trip out that way. Great video

[@Tony_Cass_]

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate you watching! It’s certainly an awesome fishery we are blessed with over here! Thanks for the comment!

[@aimhigh4928]

What kind of net do you use

[@Tony_Cass_]

Clam Fortis nets. It is linked in the description of the video. If you purchase through that link it helps out the channel!

[@NatureCallsOfficial]

Great Vid From Chicago! Planning trip in a week where can I find these river systems if I Stay in DT Milwaukee

[@Tony_Cass_]

Thanks for watching! The Milwaukee River runs RIGHT through the heart of downtown! So you will have no trouble finding it. Good luck out there! Thank you for the comment!

[@NatureCallsOfficial]

Got some pins for the area?

[@MrKillwaukee414]

Hey buddy, are you at 690 reservoir?

[@Tony_Cass_]

Not in this video, no. But I have filmed plenty of videos there in the past! That’s a fantastic spot for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@thisstupid757]

Do you think that spot under that bridge is seasonal? Like further into the season (now) would you want to go further upstream?

[@lesstoflet7305]

Sweet video buddy..keep up the good work.

[@Tony_Cass_]

Thanks dude👊🏼

[@johntibu2702]

Where is this spot?

[@Auxillia]

That part where you said bobber = boring and switch to spinner was hilarious. Exactly how I feel too.

[@grantjohnson5308]

Nice job! Now that I have family in Milwaukee I’m gonna be over der

[@MediaCallOuts]

Might be a dumb question. But if you wanted to, could you keep them?

[@gerxiong4830]

Yea, just needs to be above the length requirement for the section you fish at

[@Tony_Cass_]

Yes you can keep. I prefer to throw them back and let em grow! The only way to sustain a world class fishery is allowing these fish to continue roaming! But yea you can certainly keep them legally, that’s just my personal preference. Thanks for watching!

[@SOLODOLODEEBO]

what a keeper size?

[@Bpositiveandprosper]

impressive that you pulled that hot chrome hen up those rapids!

[@Tony_Cass_]

It was a close one that’s for sure! Haha! Thanks for watching! I appreciate the comment!

[@allancrow134]

I live on Vancouver Island and have to fish all winter for a couple of Steelhead, mind you they are ocean run and brutes. I have a question, where is everybody? If I lived there I'd be on the river every time I got the chance. It blows my mind you are in an urban area and it's not wall to all guys. I've watched quite a few vids on the Milwaukee River and I rarely see other anglers standing on the bank.

[@Tony_Cass_]

we are certainly blessed with an awesome fishery around here! thanks for watching the videos! really appreciate the comment!

[@dckadventures9984]

Nice. I know exactly where you are fishing. Shhhh...lol

[@Tony_Cass_]

lolol. appreciate you watchin! Tight lines

[@jakeunora1436]

Hey man, love the videos. Saw you Sunday down at the harbor and did the exact same thing but went down to Racine. Not sure if you were the group with the shanty or the others but there can only be one car with your stickers😂 Keep up the great work and if you manage to find the elusive Milwaukee ice perch I’d love to see a video on it.

[@Tony_Cass_]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate this comment🙏🏼glad you are enjoying the videos! Tight lines and good luck out there!

[@stevebennett1858]

Man awesome fishing would love too see ya get em on jerkbaits

[@Tony_Cass_]

Challenge accepted! Will definitely be doing some hard bait fishing coming soon! Thanks for the comment! Appreciate you watching!

[@iamm63]

I know you’re not gonna stop doing what you’re doing, and keep exposing more people to our fishery. But maybe you could still do us a favor and talk to your followers about river etiquette, like giving space to other fishermen who are already on a spot, or leaving empty spinner packages and balls of braided line on the banks. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@Skank_Hunt42]

Float fishing is boring? 👋

[@Tony_Cass_]

its okkkkkk
