Fishing

 

Public boat access is located at the north end of the county beach of Lexington Avenue with a concrete ramp for 6 car/trailer parking.

Fishing is permitted for the shore and there is also a fishing pier at Lake Josephine Park, where many local residents swim, picnic or fish.

Fishermen will find a variety of fish including Northern Pike, Walleye, Black Crappie, Bluegills, Largemouth Bass, Catfish, Common Carp, Bream, Bluefill, Green Sunfish, Hybrid Sunfish, Pumpkinseed Sunfish, White Sucker, Yellow Bullheads and Perch.  In the winter Lake Josephine is a favorite for pike spearing through the ice.  Walleye fingerlings have been stocked to improve angling opportunities for this popular game fish.
