Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | March 17th ice report.
On wednesday I took a drive.
Newlondon, iced in
Guths, Iced inn
Above the railroad bridge at gills, iced innn
from railroad down to hahns in orihula, 1/2 way open.
When people start to push out chunks this weekend it will get bunched up and close off travel so if you really want to chance it, go ahead.
Travel will not be for the faint of heart this weekend. This may change if we get some warm rain but as of noon, thursday its BE CAREFUl.
Go to Depere and get warmed up.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Just took a ride from redbanks through fremont. LOTS OF ICE BERGS, and still plenty of shelf ice. I am sure saturday will bring lots of guys breaking ice which will make the river extremely dangerous. The water is 33.2 degrees so no rush yet. By next weekend it will be very clear I am sure. I am not calling ice out as there is way to much left. |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Saturday morning has found 20 rigs in fremont. There was 3 at gills. Lots of shelf ice and lots of flats are covered in ice yet. Guys are running high and fast on plane like they dont have a care. There are floating bergs everywhere. Hope they all stay safe. For the rest of us hang in there till this rain comes it should have everything cleared by mid week.
Oh yea, a report. Very good river rats experienced a tough bite yesterday in clear and cold waters. Everyone I talked to said they want it to get a bit dirtier.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | OK Today is the first full day of spring, it came at 6:21 pm yesterday, and with it came a good flush of ice. Like most of it!!
With that said, Today 3-21-11 I call ice out from gills down to the mouth. There is still some small areas of shelf ice that will break off and you could hit them so caution is to be exercised. Above the train bridge it is still iced in and will mostlikely melt where she sits. In newlondon it is floating like a big berg in the river all free from the shores. The river is on the rise.
I was out sunday morning and can tell you first hand that the fish are here.
Fort fremont does not have a public launch. The best one on our side of the river is triangle campgrounds just down river from the FORT. Tell them we sent ya'.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | The ice you see in the pictures has started moving, it is clearing the center of the river. There is 30 to 50 ft of shoreline snow and ice guarding the edges yet. Maybe they will move through by weeks end. I will post friday morning and let you all know from gills and fremont. |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | The river is not in grand shape. Last nights freeze has chunked it all up again. It looks like it may be that way until the warmer weather gets here. I believe a guy can navigate but you will need to be very cautious. The water temp is 32.1. It was almost 33 last weekend.
I think I am goiing to use this last weekend to get the "LIttle things" done around the house and on the boat for all hell will break loose the first weekend in april.
Have a good weekend all!! |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | OK GUYS here is the scoop. There is a lot of shell ice coming down the river. I am sure it is not thick but either way it is coming down. Yesterday it stopped by late morning, I am sure it just burned off. Most the shore line ice melted away yesterday so travel should clear but use caution. This time of the year err on the side of safety, you will only last 45 secounds in the river before you die. Water temp at dock this morning is 32.3 and that farenheit.
This from Gills down, upriver you are on your own.
Have a great weekend.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Shell ice is there again today. Lots of bergs yesterday. Many place up nort letting go. The water is up and is expected to get deeper as the week gets longer. Caution to all using the water. If you anchor keep a knife ready to cut your rope should a berg get caught it will flip you over.
Good luck all.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | First day in a week that shell ice did not form on the river over night. There are still bergs floating but it is shell ice free. Give it a day or 3 and I think a Tsunami wave of fish will bum rush the river. Be it friday, saturday, sunday or monday the mother load will start one of them days and last for a week. |
