Great Lakes Fishing: Door County NO FINER PLACE TO WET A LINE Great Lakes Fishing on open water or through the ice, in streams or in the Great Lakes; Door County has some of the best fishing to be found in the Midwest. Walleye, bass, brown trout, northern pike, lake trout, salmon and pan fish can be found in abundance and record sizes in our lakes and streams. Bring your own boat and tackle or let one of many experienced charter captains put you in touch with trophy fun. The waters surrounding Sturgeon Bay and Washington Island have become known in recent years for having one of the best small-mouth bass fisheries in America. Northern pike can be found all along the bay side of the peninsula, with Washington Island’s Detroit Harbor being a local hotspot. Brook trout and rainbow trout are common early spring catches in Hein’s Creek and Hibbard’s Creek. ✦ Open in Winter Village Color Key: Baileys Harbor Carlsville Door County fishing in early April usually means ice-out and time for brown and brook trout fishing in and around Baileys Harbor on the lake side and Ephraim’s Eagle Harbor on the bay side. Tasty smelt can be netted along the Lake Michigan shoreline, usually around late April. Trout fishing off the ship canal in Sturgeon Bay kicks off in May and continues through the start of salmon fishing season, which begins in early June and continues through summer. Experienced charter captains operate throughout the county with many located in the greater Sturgeon Bay area, Baileys Harbor, Gills Rock, and Ephraim. In the winter, the waters of Green Bay on the bay side seem to magically sprout villages of ice shanties. Perch is the usual prey, but you can never tell when a large northern or walleye will be pulled through the fishing hole.
