If anyone is interested, the river is wide open in Winneconne as of Saturday, no one fishing and it was a beautiful day. I was tempted to run home and get out my custom drop net I made 25 years ago just for fishing on that bridge.

Big Butte is open from the river in Winneconne 1/2 way to the 41 bridge.

People use lead headed jigs or wolf river rigs. A couple of links to get you started. You will have plenty of time to watch what others are doing. have fun!

The river is open in OShkosh and you can launch your boat at Rainbow if anyone is interested. The lake is still 1/2 covered in ice so I can't get my dock in yet.

Had dinner at the Fin on Friday.... BOAT LAUNCH IS NOT OPEN AND IS ICED IN. Saw a couple of boats at the landing whising they could get in, but the ice from the lake has made the launce not accessable.

If you are plan on fishing the bridge... lots of ice cominig down.
