Lake Winnebago Ice Fishing Report: Solid Ice, Walleye Biting on Reefs
# Lake Winnebago Fishing Report
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Lake Winnebago rundown for early January.
We're in prime ice fishing season right now, and conditions are shaping up nicely. A cooling trend has really helped establish solid ice across the lake. Recent reports show ice depths between 11 to 12 inches in the smooth sections, though that's still a bit marginal for heavy vehicle traffic—ATVs and side-by-sides are your best bet for getting out there safely.
The bite's been fair to good, especially during twilight hours on the shallower reefs in close. We're talking walleye primarily, with some panfish mixed in. The lake's been producing some solid fish lately—Lake of the Woods up north has been seeing 32-inch giants, and the same pressure systems affecting those waters are pushing into our region.
For tackle, stick with what works: tip-ups rigged with live shiners or chubs for walleye, and small jigs tipped with perch for panfish. Cast Again Tackle out of Seymour makes some excellent hand-tied jigs if you want local gear. You can't go wrong with traditional live bait presentations either.
If you're planning to hit it officially, the Battle on Bago tournament runs February 14th and 15th—that's the Midwest's largest ice fishing event with over $275,000 in prizes. Asylum Bay on the main lake has been consistently productive, as have the Upper River Lakes: Poygan, Winneconne, and Butte des Morts.
Target those shallower reefs during the low-light periods. That's where the action's been concentrated. With this stable weather pattern holding, we should see conditions stay solid through the week.
