Fishing
High Cliff State Park
Both the Butterfly Pond and Lake Winnebago have fishing opportunities. The pond may yield largemouth bass and panfish. Fish for walleye, white bass and perch on the lake. A Wisconsin fishing license is required to fish at both locations.
The Wisconsin DNR stocks rainbow trout in Butterfly Pond. These fish are stocked at a catchable size of around 9 to 11 inches. This stocking effort is a put-take-fishery and harvest is encouraged among anglers. An accessible fishing platform is available at the Butterfly Pond.
Anglers of any age may check out basic fishing equipment free of charge at the park office. This equipment was donated by the Tackle Loaner Program. Call the park office to find out what equipment is available.
