Battered and fried over a campfire, roasted whole on sticks, baked in hobo packets on hot coals—no matter how it’s fixed, freshly caught fish can be the highlight of a meal enjoyed after a day of successful fishing, that is, if the catch is properly cared for before cooking.
Lakes in Wisconsin
|
Wisconsin is known as the badger state. But with almost 15,000 inland lakes and over 200 miles of shoreline on Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and the Mississippi River alone, it could well be called the water sport state. Fishing, kayaking, sailing, surfing - lake enthusiasts will find all these and more in Wisconsin. Lake Geneva's placid waters are perfect for swimming, skiing, fishing and cruising. Set in the resort city that bears its name, it's just a short road trip from Chicago and Milwaukee. On Lake Michigan, freshwater surfing is popular. Since 1990, surfers have gathered in the city of Sheboygan for the annual Dairyland Surf Classic. Ice fishing is another longstanding tradition in Wisconsin. Anglers may catch walleye, northern pike and panfish there year round. And for those who love paddling, what could be more delightful than a kayaking tour of the Great Lake's Apostle Islands? |
