Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | OK, The river ice is thick. I went on a drive and found 18" at gills and 14" at northport. 15" in fremont and 20" on the snow mo trail at Fort Fremont. The snow pack in the woods is good everywhere. We could use more for the run off, I think. Either way it should be good. Lets hope we dont get a february thaw. The current is low. We are at the heart of winter my friends. Anyone else feel that stirr in the belly at 230AM and have to get up and watch a 30 min video of open water fishing? Shoot, everyone in my group are reporting such things. I bet the walleyes are feeling it to.
Say, can anyone else feel when its going to be a full moon with out cheating and looking at a calander?
64 days and a wakeup to april 1st. ICE BREAKER IV (4) March 13-14-15 Hosted by Critters sports, Winneconne wisconsin. Go to www.wolfrivercountry.com for more info.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | legal limit on line per angler should answer your question rich.
Trim it up, June seems early compared to august. I think it may be earlier than we think.
This will be a good weekend to get new line on the reels during the pre game sunday.

The river today looks like a swimming pool. I will be checking current flow over the next 2 days visually. I will drill some holes in the normal "First" spots. I will give you a run down shortly.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Well, if you go to the hotel in fremont and decide that a cocktail is in order and sit down at the bar like the big boys do, you will see open water in fremont. The stretch is small but I expect to see more soon. Sturgeoin is over and I guess there will be at least 1 more fish swimming. Yep, my guide failed me, hehehehe.
Appleton boat show this week, will get out and drill some holes wednesday for the start of my weekly wednesday round up till ice out.
Hang tough as the count stands at, 35 days and a wake up. Quit shaking, I am having walleye for supper. And it is not sheps neighbors Mrs. Pauls either. |

Location: Menasha, WI | Quick question since I only have 35 days to re-stock my tackle box and I have zero experience with the Wolf during the spring run...How heavy do I need to go w/ my jigs? Is 3/8oz sufficient or do I need to get some 1/2oz, 1oz ? |

Hahahaha... I'm not tall enough to sit down and see over the bar.
Good to hear there is a little open water. Today's rain and the 4-8 inches of snow we are supposed to get Thursday should help eat a little more of the ice off the river.
Thanks for keeping an eye on the river for us Denny. |
