Fishing
Do you like to fish? What better way to relax and leave your
cares behind than to dip your line in the waters of the Wausau
Area? Lake Wausau may be one of the great undiscovered fisheries
in the state, containing northern pike, walleyes, muskie and
pan fish. Public boat landings in a number of locations offer
easy access to this large body of water that winds around the
southern part of the Wausau city limits. Each winter, a new
suburb appears on the lake when ice fishing enthusiasts raise
their shanties as soon as the ice will support them. Muskie
fishermen have been known to take some real trophies from these
waters. In the Town of Rib Mountain, the Rib River contains
small-mouthed bass, walleyes, muskie and northern pike. The
Wisconsin River is a prime fishing spot for muskie, northern
pike, walleye and small-mouthed bass anglers. Several boat landings
are located along the river at public parks. Fishing near the
dam of Schofield Pond yields walleyes, crappies and other pan
fish. The Eau Claire River, feeding the Schofield Pond, boasts
great bass fishing. Lake DuBay, just south of Wausau off U.S.
Highway 51, is best known for pan fish and northern pike. If
you're in search of walleye or pan fish, the Eau Pleine Reservoir
ranks high with area fishermen. There are several other small
lakes within a twenty-mile radius of the Wausau Area. Mission,
Pike and Mayflower are the larger of these lakes holding northern,
walleyes and pan fish. Fishing licenses can be purchased from
the Department of Natural Resources at 5301 Rib Mountain Drive
in the Town of Rib Mountain, Monday-Friday: 7:45 am-4:30 pm,
or at most area retail outlets that sell fishing tackle or bait.
Anyone over the age of 16 is required to have a valid fishing
license in the state of Wisconsin.
