The Wolf Artificial-Only Water — Wolf River, Wisconsin

118 NHD reaches, 123.5 miles of drawn channel — side channels and braids included, so more than the distance downriver.

The line is the water this name refers to, drawn from the NHD reaches it resolves to; the dots are the nearest gauges reporting water temperature, coloured by what they read now.

What it is

The upper Wolf in Langlade County — pocket water and ledge rock, fished off the bank as much as waded — under artificial lures and a slot that sends the middle of the range back. The regulation covers part of the stream, not all of it — the extent above is the agency's wording. What is drawn here is the whole named stream, because there is no boundary anywhere we could check it against.

Artificial lures only; 3 trout in total — brown and rainbow under 12 inches except one fish may be over 18 inches, brook trout over 8 inches.

Where it is

This name covers a stretch whose boundaries are posted on the ground rather than held in any file this site reads, so the map draws the named stream and the boundaries are described in words above rather than guessed at with a line.

Regulations on this stretch

Artificial lures only; 3 trout in total — brown and rainbow under 12 inches except one fish may be over 18 inches, brook trout over 8 inches.

Rules change every year and the posted signs are the authority, not this page. Check the current Wisconsin regulations before you fish. Where this stretch sits inside a larger river, that river's general regulations apply everywhere this stretch's do not.

Best times

Big, broken water: the hendrickson and the brown drake, and streamers when it is up.

Live water temperature

No USGS temperature gauge we read reports within 25 miles of this stretch, so this page has no live number for it. That is a gap in the gauge network, not a judgement about the water.

Sources for the name

BirdTrout did not name this water. 3 independent sources below use the name, and it ships only because more than one of them does.
