About this spot

Fishing Manitowc River

The Manitowoc River in Wisconsin offers prime fishing for steelhead, brown trout, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. Top spots include Silver Creek Park (shore access), Lower Cato Falls (trout in spring/fall), and the river mouth near Manitowoc Marina (boat ramps, piers). Shore access is abundant in downtown Manitowoc, with boat launches at Schuette Park and Manitou Park. Steelhead and browns run in spring/fall; smallmouth and pike peak in summer. Effective baits include spawn sacs, jigs with plastics, and crankbaits. Inlets and bends upriver near Cato and Mishicot are hotspots. Verified through DNR reports, local guides, and fishing forums.
