Fishing the Lake Pepin Area
The outwash of Wisconsin’s Chippewa River basin into the Great mississippi River forms 20 mile-long Lake Pepin. Over 85 species of game fish can be angled year round in these boundry waters. Lake City has nearly 7 miles of shoreline along Lake Pepin offering many opportunities for shore fishing as well as 2 designated trout streams, Gilbert and Miller Creeks. So, from a boat or from shore - whether you like bobber fishing, jigging, trolling, or casting, trophy-size lunkers are possible rewards.
