FISHING IN THE MONTELLO AREA
Whether you want to tease a trout with a tied fly or lure a lunker bass,
walleye or northern pike, Marquette County offers first class fishing. Most
species native to Wisconsin can be found in the county's 60+ lakes, five
rivers and 15 trout streams. Public access and boat launching facilities are
available on most county lakes and rivers, and there are plenty of private
accesses at resorts and campgrounds as well.
 Boats, motor and canoe rentals can be found at various resorts. Tackle
and fresh, live bait can be purchased at many resorts, campgrounds and local
bait shops. As you can see, the Montello area offers everything you need for
an enjoyable day of fishing: plenty of lakes, rivers, and streams, with more
than enough fish to go around.

HUNTING
From early times to present, Marquette County has had a rich tradition of
hunting. Blessed with thousands of acres of wetlands and lakes, this area is
a waterfowler's dream; mallard, teal, woodduck, gadwall, pintail, scaup and
ringbill are common residents and transients each fall. And, with more than
350,000 Canada geese stopping off at Grand River, Germania and other area
marshes, there's more than ennough to go around for the hunters.
 Deer, of course, remain the most sought-after game
Marquette County has to offer. Hunters enjoy great success when pursuing the
wary whitetail, so plentiful in this area.
For the upland gamebird hunter - Marquette County offers a mixed bag of
ruffed grouse, woodcock, pheasant, and bob-white quail.
 Cottontail rabbit, red and gray squirrel are always
plentiful. Red and gray foxes, and their cousins - the coyotes - are also
common in the county, and are often hunted in the winter months using a
predator call. Raccoon populations are soaring as well, and are a favorite
quarry for nighttime hunters and their dogs.
 Although much of Marquette County is private land, many
landowners will give permission to hunt, if the hunter
only asks. Public hunting areas also provide land
and water to pursue most of the huntable species
found in this county.
With so much game, and so many places to hunt,
it's easy to see why Marquette County has always
been called "a Sportsman's Paradise"!
