AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Prairie River near Merrill in Lincoln County is a productive Class I and Class II trout stream in central Wisconsin, supporting both stocked and wild brown trout. The river's gravel riffles and undercut banks make it ideal for nymph and streamer fishing, especially in spring and early summer. WDNR easements provide public wade fishing access along several miles of prime water.
