How Pigeon River is stocked
You will find Pigeon River in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. The state records in the table above list rainbow trout. The size column above shows what the agency reported for each release.
For rainbows, a small spoon or spinner on light line is a simple start, with salmon eggs or a cut nightcrawler as backup. In current, fish usually hold behind rocks and along undercut banks, so work those seams first.
Nearby, our map also shows Sheboygan River, Sheboygan Falls Millpond 312 and Mullet River. Rules for Pigeon River follow Wisconsin DNR regulations, linked on this page. Signed-in users can watch this water for an email when it is stocked again.
