Wisconsin's Best Trout Stream - The Bois Brule River

Notice: Viewers are requested to refrain from posting comments regarding stream destroying, hot spotting or fish handling techniques. Violators will be permanently muted. See https://www.coppersmithstudios.com/a_all.html for further explanation. The Bois Brule River is Wisconsin's most well known and perhaps best trout stream. There are 3 distinct sections of this 44 mile stream. The upper portion is a 10 mile stretch from Co. Hwy S (Stones Bridge Landing) to Co. Hwy B (Winneboujou Landing). This is very good for brook trout, with many fish in the 10 to 12 inch range and some up to 15 inches available. Some brown trout are also present. The middle section is a 4 mile stretch from Co. Hwy B to the town of Brule. This area has a lot of rapids that are exciting but not dangerous to canoe. It also has a large population of brown trout, many over 15 inches and some reaching 26. From upstream of Hwy 2 to Lake Superior the Bois Brule is known as Wisconsin's best anadromous fishery with steelhead, salmon and some large lake run brown trout. This section is not as good for resident trout as the upper sections. The headwaters are accessible via the Brule Glacial Spillway State Natural Area but are brushy and filled with small chubs. Canoeing is the best way to fish the upper and middle sections but wading with chest high waders is also possible. See much more content, commercial free, at https://www.patreon.com/CoppersmithStudios
