Fishing

Remember the thrill of your first big catch when the line went taut and you rushed to reel it in?  

Recreate that experience in one of over 700 lakes and streams in Lincoln County, where trophy-worthy musky and bass are caught every year. Various public access sites make it easy to grab your gear and start your adventure on the water today.

The most popular fishing locations are Lake Alice, Lake Alexander, and Lake Mohawksin where you’ll find a variety of fish such as musky, panfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye.  The best fly fishing is along the Prairie River where a state-record brook trout was caught.

If you’re looking for a quieter day of fishing, there are plenty of smaller lakes and streams as well where you can unplug from the rest of the world.
