I just came across this article on the Milwaukee River explaining a bit about its more recent history involving restoration projects such as dam removal, fish ladders, and planting of native vegetation along stream banks, which all contribute to cleaner water and more fish habitat. This article also explains how migratory trout and salmon have been seen in places that anglers have not seen them in years past. Don’t believe that old tale about the dam at Kleztch Park being the limit of their migration. With enough rain the fish will move all the way to Grafton. With more fishable river miles anglers should be able to spread out more. So when you show up at your favorite run this fall and find someone in your spot don’t be afraid to think outside the box and fish where others don’t. You just might find solitude and good fishing.
