     As we head into March we still have plenty of ice on most central Wisconsin lakes which is allowing anglers a lot of opportunities at great fishing.  In addition to having plenty of ice on the lakes a few savvy anglers are taking to the open water below area dams and targeting walleyes.  The walleye season remains open on the Wisc...

    2/27/18- Reported by  Jim Stroede Guide Service Washburn County recently received a foot of new snow, this has been great for skiing and snowmobilers but has made getting out on the ice a little bit of a struggle for atv and truck traffic. Walking out to good crappie and bluegill fishing is still very good and easy on Long Lake. Multiple...

    The 1998 was a truly unique season.  For starters, there was great concern about ice conditions leading up to the season.  From some of the other newspaper articles that I’ve read, it appears there was even outside pressure to cancel the season.  The 2018 spearing season marks the 11th season that I have worked for the DNR...

    Dear Winnebago System Sturgeon Spearing Enthusiasts: The sturgeon harvest on Lake Winnebago picked up today, as 51 fish were registered today.  The registration station at Wendt’s was the busiest with 17 fish registered, followed by Payne’s Point (8), Jerry’s Bar (7), Calumet Harbor (6), Stockbridge Harbor (5), and Waverly...

    Today we highlight the season of 40 years ago (1978).  For starters, the 1978 season only included a fishery on Lake Winnebago.  Water clarity coming into the season was good (average 14’ of clarity) and ice conditions allowed for safe travel. Thus, spearers were anxiously awaiting the season getting started. However, the largest sn...

    Winnebago System Sturgeon Spearers: We are now half way through the 2018 sturgeon spearing season on Lake Winnebago.  We have been hearing reports for the last few days that the water has gradually been clearing and there must be some truth to that given the harvest over the last two days.  The 119 fish registered the past two days (51 y...

    It has been another fantastic week here in Central Wisconsin. The fishing has been very good for all species with panfish taking the top spot again for consistent action. Walleye and pike have been fairly active with some pretty decent ones being caught. Most of the panfish are being caught by jigging in shallow water with tear-drop style jigs.&nbs...

    Attention Winnebago System Sturgeon Spearing Enthusiasts: The big question coming into today was how long the spear fishery on the Upriver Lakes would last.  We were only 2 adult females away from the 90% trigger and 11 adult females from the 100% season closure.  Well it literally came down to the wire.  At 1:50, we were still...
