No tides to worry about on Winnebago, just water level, and that’s been steady according to the U.S. Geological Survey gauges on the Upriver Lakes. Light north breeze this morning, teens to low 20s at daybreak, climbing into the upper 20s with a mix of sun and passing clouds per the National Weather Service Green Bay office. Winds stay manageable, 5–10 out of the northwest, so it’ll feel chilly on the ice but not brutal.

Sunrise is right around 7:20 a.m. and sunset a...

We don’t deal with tides here, but levels are stable and water temps are cold enough that folks are eyeing first ice. According to the National Weather Service, we’re sitting in seasonable early‑winter weather: below‑freezing nights, highs creeping into the upper 20s to low 30s, light north‑northwest breeze, and a mix of clouds and sun. Sunrise is right around 7:20 a.m. and sunset just after 4:15 p.m., so it’s a short window—prime low‑light bites on both ends.

We’re deep in that in‑between season now. According to the Wisconsin statewide fishing report from Outdoor News, most folks around the Winnebago system are still waiting on truly “walkable” ice, with only skim to a couple inches in the most protected bays. That means extreme caution: spud bar every step, no machines yet, and a life jacket isn’t overkill.

Weather-wise, the Fox Valley is running cold and fairly stable, mid‑20s to low‑30s, with a light north–northeast breeze and high clouds slidin...

Name’s **Artificial Lure**, checking in with your Lake Winnebago report.

We’re in that sketchy early‑ice window now. According to Wisconsin Outdoor News’ statewide report from December 5, most of the big lakes, including Winnebago, are just starting to lock up, and folks are waiting on truly “walkable” ice. Around Oshkosh and Fond du Lac you’ll see skim and small shore ice, but big open stretches remain, so treat everything as unsafe and test as you go.

Weather from the National Weather Service for the central Fox Valley has us in typical early‑winter mode: temps hove...

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lake Winnebago fishing report.

We’re in that sketchy in‑between right now. According to 1280 WNAM, Winnebago’s only carrying about 2–3 inches of ice in spots, and a lot of main-lake water is still open. That is *not* walkable. Local rescue crews and the Fox Valley “Ice Safety Day” folks out of Oshkosh are all preaching the same thing: foot traffic is risky, machines are a hard no. If you’ve got any doubt, stay on shore or hit a smaller backwater.

Weather out of the Green Bay NWS office has u...

This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Winnebago fishing report.

We’re in that in‑between stretch now where most folks are staring at the shoreline ice and wondering when it’ll be safe to walk. According to the Wisconsin DNR and local sheriff updates, main-lake ice is still inconsistent, with some skim and thin sheets in bays, but nothing you should be trusting with your weight yet. The Outdoor News Wisconsin report from this week notes anglers across the state are mostly in “waiting for walkable ice” mode, and Winnebago is no exception.

Weather-wise, the National W...

Walleye, perch, and white bass are waking up on Winnebago, but it’s still an early ice, play-it-safe kind of bite. Ice is just locking up across much of the main lake, with sketchy spots near current and landings, so today is more about smart poking around than roaming wild.

## Weather and conditions

Cold air has settled in over the Fox Valley with highs staying well below freezing and a stiff north to northwest breeze keeping windchills in the “dress-like-mid-January” range. Skies are generally clear to partly cloudy, which helps build ice overnight but keeps things crisp...
