Fox River DePere - Voyager

First time fishing up here in De Pere, for me, in about 25 years, which matched the wind (25mph) that I had to deal with that day.  Tough early season conditions for sure!  

Hey all.
Planning a fishing trip for my dad to celebrate his birthday sometime march or april. If anyone could point me to which dates would be best/what lures to use I would very much appreciate that.

It's weird out there. No flow. Low water. So early. 

Well… we sucked at fishing last weekend… Don’t do what we did… lol

​Fishing the Fox River and Green bay in March!

Drove over the bridge / dam today... There were a few boats out, but the main thing I saw were low water levels exposing concrete and other rocks between the dam and powerlines.  It looked like little real current out of the dam.  

To answer turbidity of 7 or 8 means some color in the river. Over 10 and visibility is really reduced. 20 stay home. Super clear at 5 and under.  In my experience it's a real good indicator.  

You can/should be able to look back both past 30 days and past 1 year on waterdatas website 

I would appreciate anyone's opinion on the flow and turbidity charts.  I'm comfortable using them but usually look back at previous days and make a guess.  Whould anyone share their opinion on "roughly" how the turbidity matches the scale?  For example what # is clear, dirty, and chocolate milk (stay home).  Thanks in advance for those share.

Slow motion 

If you go to USGS - find Green Bay - use oil tank location and select water turbidity. This AM it was 6.

Does anyone know how the water clarity is? Thanks

Fished De Pere on Saturday and had a good day. Caught mostly small males, but one big girl came out to play!! Also caught whitefish, a smallmouth bass, and a net!

If the fish were there, the boats would be also. Yes, it was crazy over the weekend, but that doesn't mean the fish are biting, LOL. I've seen plenty of boats there in snow, rain, and sleet in the middle of the week already! Spawning usually takes place late March to mid April, so still a little early.

@Jabberwalker its midday on a Monday with rain in the forecast and a cold front coming....some of us work.  I'm sure it was a parking lot yesterday even with the high winds.
