Listed below are just a few of the lakes and rivers in the area:

Removal of the Linen Mill Dam in Baraboo has reconnected the Baraboo River with the complex fishery in the Wisconsin River system. Lake Sturgeon, one of the ten species present below the Linen Mill Dam (previously not found above), are now able to forage the entire length of the river. The dominant sport fishery include Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, and Channel Catfish. Panfish are common and forage fish are abundant. Waterfowl hunting, fishing, and canoeing are other popular recreational activities, as well.

Primary game fish species: Northern, Catfish, Small Mouth, and an occasional Muskie!

This beautiful lake encompasses 622 acres with a maximum depth of 36 feet. Primary game fish species are Walleye, Muskie, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, & Pan Fish.

Walleye and Muskellunge populations are maintained by stocking with good survival and growth rates for these species. White Crappies are abundant and self-sustaining. Largemouth Bass and Bluegills are present in good numbers, and are also self-sustaining.

Mirror Lake's Walleye populations are maintained by the DNR and Sports Club stocking. The survival is fair and some good-sized fish are always present. Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike reproduce naturally and are abundant. Bluegills are also present in good numbers.  There is surprisingly little recreation and fishing pressure, due to high weed growth.

The lake encompasses 137 acres, with a maximum depth of 14 feet.

A unique and truly spectacular State Park, Devil's Lake encompasses 379 acres with a maximum depth of 40 feet. The primary game fish species are Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, and Panfish. Walleye and Brown Trout populations are kept strong by DNR stocking. The growth for both Walleyes and Brown Trout are above the statewide average. Northern Pike population is relatively low, but individual fish are large. Both Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass are present in fair numbers.

Due to higher levels of recreational boat traffic, Lake Delton tends to be an underfished lake. As a result, it offers excellent fishing opportunities for Walleyes, Largemouth Bass and Panfish, its primary game fish species.

The lake encompasses 267 acres and has a maximum depth of 16 feet.

A tributary of the Mississippi River, the often beautiful and picturesque Wisconsin River is the largest river in Wisconsin, and the namesake of the state (the state was actually named after the river!). Formed over 10,000 years ago, any fish native to Wisconsin, from Sturgeon to Walleye, can be found (and caught) here!
