Walley, White Bass, and Smallmouth The Wisconsin Dells Dam

Fishing at the Wisconsin Dells Damn on the Wisconsin River. Was a warm and muggy morning but was still a productive session!

Awesome video! Careful setting the rod in the sand, I ruined a reel doing that this spring. Love fishing the WI River

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

Hard to beat thats for sure!!

[@pinhookfishingclub]

Looks like a great spot! I saw that river where it empties into the Mississippi. I wasn’t fishing that day or I’d have made a vid and posted it. Was on the Iowa side at a state park. Next summer for sure I’ll fish it!

thanks for sharing this trip

[@GeoFishing]

Awesome stuff man 👍🤗🤗🎣✌️

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

Only thing I regret about 2021 is not having a camera earlier in the year! Bring on spring haha

[@noljawn]

So cool man! Thank you for sharing

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

Thank you! Gonna be heading back there in a few weeks! Can’t wait!

[@robotnielsen5434]

I love this river, i love staying at rivers edge resort. My parents used to own a condo at Tamarack and we fished all over around there.

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

It is an amazing place to fish no matter what part of the river you’re on! Hoping to make it to that dam again.

[@YakAngling]

I like this water way! I remember it well as a kid. I will defiantly be looking at adding this area on my fishing KZbin channel YakAngling Great Video Sassafras!

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

Thank you! That was a great day of fishing for sure. Defiantly gonna get back there soon!

[@jimbopetrella]

Lol walleye family? Aren't walleye ESOX? And wasn't that a striped bass, which is a "true" bass? Pretty sure the one you had was a hybrid anyway

[@AddictedAngler]

nice catches , tbh i been to dells 100 times and never fish that area

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

Defiantly gonna go back in the spring and see what happens, might be an epic day again!

[@bsmith6412]

How do I get down to the dam? I saw the parking lot with transformer but didn’t know how to get down

[@edcygan]

Hi are you local to that area? I was considering kayak fishing the river there the 3rd week in August. Which stretch of river is better for kayak fishing above and between the 2 dams or below where you are? Thanks

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

I can’t really give you an accurate opinion on that because I have no experience at kayak fishing. I do see people on kayaks on every part of that river. I can tell you be careful though. Tons of pleasure boaters all over this time of year and they drive a boat crazier than they do a car!

Where the spot in Wisconsin dell

[@djomegaminus]

What size St. Croix rod is that?

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

That is a 6 foot light fast action st croix premier. That was from over a year and a half ago and I’ve since upgraded to a St croix victory. I still use that rod for crappie fishing with small jerk baits.

[@djomegaminus]

@@sassafrasoutdoors5366 I've got the same rod but in 4'6". scored it for $10 at a garage sale.

[@tperfect1890]

Could you send me the cordinate a or where the entrance is

[@fritzspry8899]

Just use your maps on your phone bruh. Sure you'll find an entrance somewhere. Maybe have to walk down. I'm from FL and fished many damns in Minnesota just not Wisconsin yet

[@creightonstephens5888]

Who is Walley?

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

They’re a fish

[@rpredl]

Are you above or below the dam?

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

I was fishing below the dam and I hit both sides of the river

[@kaliguy47]

Terrible Place! Years back my brother and I (14&16). Stopped to rest on way to brothers College for visit. One of those backwoods no good cop pigs came and gave us a ticket for $125 cuz my brother was 16 and req'd a fishing lic. Didn't even catch a fish, needless to say we are children and didnt know the laws. He took every F'ing penny we had!! Forced us to pay in cash!! Threatened to confiscate our fishing gear! Again (14&16). Luckily we had enough gas to make it to brother, 3 hrs away. I WILL NEVER RESPECT OR TRUST ANY PIG!! No good F'ing Pigs!!!!!

[@sassafrasoutdoors5366]

Dang, sorry to hear you had a bad experience! I only go there once or twice a year. To crowded for me so when I do I make sure it’s early.

[@madtownangler]

Cops don't give out tickets for fishing. That is the DNR. We fish it after 10 pm for catfish those guys are in bed
