Petenwell Flowage

Few photos from yesterday as well. 7 March 2024

Phenomenal day on the water with the same couple guys from yesterday. 13 slots between 21 and 27 inches. Over 30 legals and close to 100 fish. Really had to work to find them in the morning but once we figured out the areas they wanted it was game on. Paddle tails, ring worms, hair jigs, and blade baits all produced. Water temp was 41 degrees from Longview all the way into the river. There are a ton of fish pushing into the river right now. Fishing should be getting better by the day. Be careful! The river and lake is VERY low. 

Live three hours away but love to fish whites. I know it's early yet, but I would appreciate a heads up when they start hitting. 

Petenwell flowage!

Today’s big winds Took care of what we had for ice! Still some ice in bay out infront of cemetery between the Adams County Park and Bayrest. West side there is still some ice north of Longview point in the bay around Willys wharf, some north by catfish bay. Michaels is really going to town at the boat launch at Longview they have it all dugout and layer down with gravel looks like the concrete blocks will be set next couple days.

Wont be long now, warmer temperature and big winds have the “pete” just about wide open! The power company has Michaels construction fixing the seventh Street boat landing this would be long viewpoint on the west shore. Still some areas with ice, I would have to say by the weekend we should be ice free.

Now booking trips for 2024 open water season.

Let’s go fishing!

just called DNR they confirmed it will be 3  Regs should ​be posted by April 1

Just remember... As soon as that fish comes into your boat it's now in your possession... Which is 4.. one over your daily bag limit... Net it outside your boat you are ok but if it dies then that opens up a can of worm .. By then you may have gotten off to a bad start with law enforcement.. lf you are on a good bite just keep 2 until you are ready to call it a day .. just my opinion...

From the WI DNR, they clearly state you must stop fishing for a species once limit is reached:

So everyone understands you can only keep 3 walleye . It doesn't mean you have to stop fishing for them. It just means don't keep more than 3 each fisherman.

If you get a limit of walleyes you can't fish for walleyes anymore. If you are catching other species you can continue to fish for those species. If you're catching 30 walleyes to one white bass, it may be hard to explain what you're doing to a warden but we all know on Petenwell there are times you are catching the same amount of each species at certain times. Then it could easily be justified to continue fishing. I just wouldn't continue casting #6 rippin raps or 5 inch plastics and try to explain to someone that you're targeting only crappies at that point. It's like guys in the spring casting obvious musky and big pike baits trying to play it off as looking for a big walleye, while they're casting a 9 inch, 1lb bait that has teeth marks from last fall from that 48 inch ski they caught.
