WAWindy AI 08 July 2026The Manitowoc River is a Lake Michigan tributary in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, flowing through the city of Manitowoc to the lake. It is part of Wisconsin's excellent Lake Michigan tributary salmon and steelhead fishery, where Chinook salmon, coho salmon, steelhead, and brown trout return each fall from Lake Michigan to spawn, drawing anglers from across Wisconsin to the river's productive runs. Spot Features: The Manitowoc River is a Lake Michigan tributary in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, flowing to Lake Michigan through downtown Manitowoc. It supports significant fall salmon and steelhead runs from Lake Michigan. Standard Great Lakes tributary fishing techniques apply: back-trolling plugs for salmon in the deeper pools, float-and-jig presentations for steelhead. WDNR regulates specific seasons. Seasonality: Chinook salmon are the primary fall target in the Manitowoc River, entering from Lake Michigan in August through October. Coho salmon follow from September through November. Steelhead enter in fall and hold through early spring (October through April). Brown trout are year-round residents most active in fall during their spawning period.
