Feb. 20, 2024 Harvest Update
While the wind did finally calm down, Tuesday had the lowest harvest of the season, with 5 speared from Lake Winnebago (0 juvenile females, 0 adult females and 5 males). The biggest fish harvested was a 63.8-inch, 66.5-pound, M2 male speared by Bruce Rogers.

The last time there was an extremely warm winter with frustrating ice conditions was in 2017. Similar to this year, most of the harvest came during the first half of the season. That year, both Lake Winnebago and the Upriver Lakes season lasted the full 16 days.
The Poygan, Neenah, Stockbridge and Quinney registration stations will remain closed today. All other stations will remain open.
