Wisconsin River

Wisconsin is home to the 430 mile long Wisconsin River that is known for its amazing historical background.  Many years ago it was used throughout the state as a road for transportation from one location to another.  The river begins at the Northeast corner of the state and ends at the Mississippi River.  You get the best of both worlds when fishing in the river.  Not only do you get to bask in the glory of prime Wisconsin fish, but you get to enjoy the uniqueness of the Mississippi creatures.  The Wisconsin River flows through Adams County into Wisconsin Dells and is filled with fun attractions and historical landmarks.  An interesting fact is that a long time ago, the ice that formed Lake Wisconsin melted away causing an overflow of water which cut a portion of the Wisconsin River out which in turn created the Wisconsin Dells.
