The Shore Fishing Capitol of Wisconsin!
No boat? No problem! Some of the best shore fishing in Wisconsin is found right here in Marquette County!
Krakow Park, Fox River and Buffalo Lake
Located on Hwy.22 South in Montello, Krakow Park is just one of the reasons the Montello Area is known as the “Shore Fishing Capital of Wisconsin”
The fishing kicks off by the spillway with a walleye run in the spring, followed by white bass and crappie. As the temperatures rise, the catfish start to come in. On the “lake” side of the park, panfish are found year-round, along with pike and bass.
Picnic tables, benches, and a handicap accessible wooden fishing pier are located on the lower (north) end of the park. There is also a pier on the corner of the dredge bank. There is parking for this area in a lot off of Hwy. 22.
In addition, picnic tables and a path to a bank fishing area are accessible from the upper (south) end of the park at the Water St. entrance. Parking is available on Water St.
Montello City Park, Montello Lake
Walk through the park and fish on the natural shoreline of Montello Lake for panfish and bass. Located on Doty St. in Montello.
Harrisville, Harris Pond
Enjoy catching panfish and bass from the pier at the boat launch off Hwy. B (turn right by the Lutheran Church) or from shore at Water St. at Wm. Lange Park.
Packwaukee Causeway, Fox River & Buffalo Lake
The causeway (Hwy. D) separates the Fox River from Buffalo Lake. Catch bass, pike and panfish. In the fall of 2017 the causeway was reconstructed, adding parking lanes and fishing platforms.
Montello Upper Fox River, Grand River Lock & Dam
Located about 2 miles south of Montello on Hwy. 22 on Lower Locks Road.
Westfield Veterans Memorial Park, Westfield Mill Pond
