In Eastern Langlade County lies one of the premier trout streams in the Midwest – the Wolf River. Spanning a 40-mile section from Pearson (Highway T) south to Highway M, these renowned trout waters are punctuated by 10 public access points. Within this stretch, anglers can expect to encounter brown, brook, and occasionally rainbow trout alongside a thriving smallmouth bass population. Impressively, brown trout measuring up to 26 inches have been reeled in from the Wolf River.

While the scenery along this section of the river is breathtaking, its steep gradient gives rise to numerous complex rapids, making it suitable only for experienced and well-equipped anglers. Above Pearson, extending from Post Lake Dam to County Highway T, the river adopts a slower pace, perfect for leisurely canoe floats. Here, anglers can target Northern pike, walleye, bass, and Muskie, benefiting from abundant populations.

The Wolf River stands out for its exceptional angling opportunities and stunning scenic beauty, making it a destination unmatched in both fishing and natural splendor.
