Yahara river at nightfall
Went out last night with a guy from work to fish along the Yahara river (the segment that connects Mendota and Monona in town). I liked the looks of it more than Wingra Creek. The water was crystal clear, there were no weeds, and plenty of big rocks along the bank that the fish hung around. The fish weren't particularly active though. The water was clear enough that you could watch your lure and see if the fish were going after it or not. A lot of the bass didn't seem to care. A couple of them must have been hungry though, because I caught two decent sized largemouth, one crappie, and two bluegill. I also had a carp try to eat my lure but he spit it out before I could set the hook. It would be pretty cool to catch a 20 lb carp sometime.

Cool! You must have been close to Tenney Park then, depending on if you were closer to the Mendota side than the Monona side. If you are in a boat, the Yahara is great between Waubesa and Monona, even right under the beltline bridge.
I never tried, but I've heard of people catching big catfish on the Yahara north of Mendota.
That very true the Yahara north of
Mendota has some really big cats, fish on the Nautigal side by the tracks around ten-pm to three-am
using cut bait,shrimp,chicken liver,stink bait inside a stocking to prolong the life of the bait
(stuff inside stocking then make little ball the size of grapes.
tie it into a knot then its fishing
time!!!!!spring,summer,and fall fishing only......)
have fun JIN-the night hawk.
That is very TRUE the Yahara north of Mendota have some really Big Cats. From ten-pm to three-am fishing on the Nautigal side by the tracks is pretty good if you use the right stuff.(cut bait,
srimp,chicken liver,stick bait inside a socking make it grape size tie it then hook it then the fun begins). I caught a 27 pounder
there,a couple of 10s and 15s.
