St. Croix River Fishing Reports

Real-Time Fishing Updates: St. Croix and Western Wisconsin River Floats

Stay informed on the latest water conditions and seasonal movements across our primary river systems. Whether we are monitoring the flow rates on the St. Croix River or checking the water clarity on the Chippewa and Red Cedar Rivers, these reports provide the expert insight you need to plan a successful day on the water.

Trophy Fish Caught

Our recent outings have produced exceptional results, with significant trophy fish being brought to the net across multiple systems. We’ve seen a surge in heavy-shouldered smallmouth bass on the St. Croix River, where aggressive surface bites have been the highlight of our afternoon floats. On the Flambeau River, our guests have successfully boated several mid-40-inch muskies, taking advantage of the predator's seasonal push into shallower current breaks. While we don't target "tropical fish" in these northern latitudes, the vibrant colors of our native brook trout on the Sioux River and the golden hues of our river-run walleye offer a visual experience that rivals any fishery in the country.

Family-Friendly Fishing Adventures

At Upriver Anglers, we believe the best memories are made together on the water, which is why we specialize in family-friendly fishing trips. Our custom 14-foot Down River Equipment raft is the perfect vessel for these outings, offering a stable and secure platform that allows kids and beginners to cast with confidence. Safety is our primary focus; we provide all necessary life jackets and professional instruction to ensure an easy-going environment. These trips are tailored to be engaging and productive, focusing on high-action areas where younger anglers can stay busy catching fish while enjoying the scenic beauty of the Red Cedar and Chippewa Rivers.

Fishing Year-Round in Western Wisconsin

We take pride in offering reliable service and fishing year-round as the seasons shift across our diverse river territories. From the early spring trout openers on the Sioux River to the heat of the summer bass season on the St. Croix, there is always a productive bite to find. As we move into the cooler months, our focus shifts to the legendary fall muskie runs on the Flambeau River, where the drop in water temperature triggers peak feeding windows. By monitoring real-time river gauges and local hatches, Nick ensures that every booking is timed to the best possible conditions. Check our current availability and book your fishing trip today to secure your spot during these prime seasonal windows.
