Anglers Welcome Early Ice
Anglers across Northeast Central Wisconsin, especially in Waupaca and Portage Counties, are celebrating an early, solid freeze-up. A strong early hard water season means better access and a longer overall fishing window. As one local angler put it, “The more ice the merrier.”
Key Fishing Forecast: Low Water Outlook
Anglers fishing the Wolf River system are predicted to see two crucial times of high fish activity this year:
Phase 1 (Early Ice): The season has already started hot for nice bluegills and perch in the river’s bayous and backwaters.
Phase 2 (Late Ice Surge): As ponds and shallow lakes attached to the backwaters begin to freeze out, anglers will see an increase in fish moving to more oxygenated water. This is shaping up to be a great year for backwater perch off the Wolf.
