Petenwell Flowage

Ya, I for one will need some clarification.  I have seen posters saying that the limit is 3 "including Petenwell" but the new regs specifically mention 3 fish from the PDS dam and below, but only list the slot from PDS up river with no specific # of fish that I can see.

As per the regulations Castle Rock still have a 5 daily bag limit.

I believe a 3 walleye limit on the Pete and castle rock starting April 1... That's awesome.... Now we need to lower the panfish limit...

I took a drive down to the lake today and there was NOT a soul anywhere. Landings empty. No tracks, nothing. We are supposed to come down for our annual fishing trip but it sure appears the conditions are unsafe. This winter really sucks!

I would say boat.

Looking at a petenwell trip on ice with sled walk out around feb 22.  Hows ice? Is it too sketchy to consider trip or is ice sound.  Which side better and safer east side at adams county park or west side 10th st.   Looking for some guidance weather we should attempt or just scrap this ice year and wait for taking boat out of storage

Today was supposed to be a day on the ice with Andrew and Kate but we took the boat out on the river instead. We fished from the dam down to the mouth but stayed between Plank Hill and the first landing most of the day. Plastics better in the morning and minnows better in the afternoon. We caught somewhere between 30 and 40 walleyes. We kept seven and released two more that were right at 15. Color made a difference this afternoon. Chartreuse was best with live bait. With plastics it didn't matter. I have a few more open water trips booked and then it's going to be a waiting game to see if the ice will get safe enough again to go out on. I'm not holding my breath on that! 

Infoshed with  Brett and Brandon today, we jigged all day from the one end of the river to the other and caught on fish the up and down the river on plastics and very few on minnows.
 Water temp was 34.2 for most of the river some areas were 33 ish, fish seem to be in the deeper holes as there is very little current.
  The bite was very slow today BUT the weather was nice and we are fishing in February in a boat  so all is good. AFTCO FreshwaterPiscifun TideWeRapalaAmphibia EyegearRazr RodzTriton Boats

Hothead, They are launching in Nekoosa. Seen boats in the Plankhill area yesterday.

The landing is open but there is still ice from around Plank Hill south
