Agreed. When mother nature throws a curve ball. That's the way it's gonna be and the stugeon win this year. Just like you wouldn't cancel do to poor conditions if the whole system was chocolate milk and you couldn't see a foot. Waushara county lakes are in bad shape foot travel only. The black ice, which is the ice that froze open water during the cold snap is six inches measured on almost all lakes. But just in those areas of the lakes. Now all the lakes also have what I'm just gonna call snow ice in typicallymoon shaped areas of the lakes.

That was ice formed before the cold Snap. It is running ten to eleven inches but is in much poorer condition than then the six inches of solid clear ice.it is not holding up. I would question walking after today in many areas. I have heard that Winnebago has more ice than what I am talking about but it can't be much different. Spearing is definitely ruled out for me.
Good fishing!-silverfish
It's in administrative code that the DNR hold a spearing season, they can't decide to close it. It would take legislative action to change anything.
Just watch, the season gets canceled and then it gets cold and guys complain they can't go out.
You take a chance when you apply and hope for the best.Changing anything now would set a dangerous precedent for years when there's a bunch of snow or brutally cold or whatever. Where do you draw the line? There were hundreds of people on Poygan for PoP. The season is 16 days long, conditions opening weekend might be poor but could improve with a couple weeks of cold weather.

Update on the USFWS discussion on the sturgeon population in the historic range. All of the data that was gathered on the historic population has been formatted and returned to the DNR, tribal contacts, states and any others that provided information. No, I don’t know what the data is. In September of 23, there will be a public comment period.
Then the USFWS will review all the information and decide whether to add protections to the population in whole or to pick regions for protection.
