WI Fishing Holes

From the Green Bay Press Gazette

Most popular state fishing destinations

1. Lake Michigan
2. Lake Winnebago
3. Mississippi River
4. Wisconsin River
5. Green Bay
6. Wolf River
7. Fox River
8. Rock River
9. Chippewa Flowage
10. Lake Waubesa

The Rock River, which includes Lake Koshkonong, finished No. 8, even though some disregard it as a carp hole. Don Bush, the DNR's fisheries biologist there, cites three reasons for the Rock's popularity: It's near Milwaukee and Chicago, it's relatively free of toxins and heavy metals, and its panfish and walleyes rival any in the state.
