Well hopefully everyone survived the big Blizzard. The good news is the added snow fall both locally
and to the north should assist with bringing the Green Bay water levels up a bit. Let’s hope for a bit
more spring precipitation as we move into April to keep them coming up a bit more.
The Fox River is just about the only fishing show in town currently. Depending on winds and ice pack
movements areas like University Bay or Oconto have had very brief periods of fishability. If you venture
out in those areas, just be very cautious as there are still large ice flows blowing around Green Bay in
general and your access can get blocked quickly with one wind switch.
The Fox River has dirtied up a bit, but action overall remains decent. Casting the current breaks along
the channel edges or flats with hair jigs and jigs/plastics has been productive just work the baits much
slower as that water cooled off a lot with last weeks storms. Blade baits have also been getting bit on
occasion later in the day if the water warms. Jig and minnow combinations slipping the river channel
and edges have also been productive but normally guys doing that are finding smaller sized fish.
There have been boats out just about every night now trolling the flats and channel edges shallow on
the Fox looking for that “Big Girl”. Reports are that a few larger fish have begun to show up. Trolling P-
10’s in brighter colors or White based patterns have been the best so far.
Reminder that the Walleye regulation on the Fox is currently 1 fish over 28” and on Green Bay it is 1 fish
over 15” and if you keep your 1 fish you are done fishing for the day. Wardens and others are
watching!
Remember to take a kid fishing
