あらすじ・解説
As of January 17, 2025, the fishing scene on Lake Winnebago is quite vibrant despite the chilly winter conditions. Here’s a local’s perspective on what you can expect:
First off, the weather is frigid, with temperatures well below freezing, which is typical for this time of year. Ice conditions on Lake Winnebago are improving, with Asylum Bay in Oshkosh reporting about six to seven inches of ice, making it suitable for ice fishing[3].
Sunrise today is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:30 PM, giving you a decent window for fishing.
Fish activity is primarily centered around ice fishing this time of year. Anglers are targeting species like walleye, northern pike, and perch. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a few walleyes in the 12- to 16-inch range, along with some perch and northern pike. The walleye bite has been decent, especially in areas like the Wolf River and around community reefs such as the Third reef and Long Point[4].
For ice fishing, the best lures and baits include live bait presentations like minnows, wax worms, and small jigs. Slip bobbers and rigs with live bait are highly effective. For perch, using an egg sinker and hook tipped with a hellgrammite, wax worm, or piece of nightcrawler works well[5].
Hot spots to consider include the areas around Winneconne, Fremont, New London, Hortonville, and Shioctin along the Wolf River. These spots are known for their walleye and perch activity during the winter months[2].
Remember to check the ice thickness before venturing out, as it can vary across the lake. With the right gear and knowledge, you can have a successful and enjoyable ice fishing experience on Lake Winnebago. Stay warm and tight lines
