Fishing near Kenosha, WI
Set on Lake Michigan's southwestern shore in Kenosha County, Kenosha is widely recognized as Wisconsin's trout and salmon capital, with the open lake reportedly producing the state's highest catch-per-hour rate for salmonids. Charter crews working Lake Michigan target Chinook, Coho, steelhead, brown trout, and lake trout, while the Fox River through western Kenosha County and nearby Geneva Lake add strong warmwater and smallmouth options.
