Spring Steelhead on the Milwaukee River

Steelhead are starting their run up the Milwaukee River from Lake Michigan, and Brian Settele from Fish Chaser Guide Service puts Larry and company on the fish. The crew utilizes spawn sacks and floats; the preferred method for early season steelhead. It's a trip through downtown Milwaukee with hard-fighting, beautiful fish!

Great show Larry! It sure is nice not having to hear the word "Frabill" 100x per episode :)

Anybody who has put time to know their rivers and spots could easily tell this spot. It's no secret.

[@santiagorolon6005]

yup, know exactly where that is

[@vengkong8344]

Yep I know both the spots. No secrets here, but I wonder how many days they fished to film this. That's the real question.

[@jonsou309]

I love shows like yours that feature opportunities within "a tank of gas" range of my house.

[@johng100]

Where were you guys fishing on the river????

[@ladycheechee]

How cold was it at that time? It's about the same time of the year but it is a lot colder this year.

[@kingfisher1ful]

[@blongthao7956]

Overfished spot and full of snaggers. What a shame.

[@LarrySmithOutdoors]

[@Sabiniscool23]

I know you were fishing the Milwaukee river but where on the river?

[@davislove3119]

Walleye run was ruined in marinette and peshtigo because of guys like these and gillespie putting them on the internet. Born and raised marinette fished walleyes and trout my entire life. In the last cpl of years u wouldnt believe the out of towners tht come tresspass, poach fish, leave their garbage laying around. Its terrible!
