Lake Poygan

Twelveguagepump I'd say that's a pretty good rule of thumb. Also another general rule depending on your sized boat is, just be off the main lake by noon. Of course there will be times it's just windy all the time, but generally when the wind gusts get above the 20s in the afternoon it gets rough. Also depends on where u are going. If it's to Winniconnie, or lake Winniconnie buoy line to troll you are somewhat protected by the cane beds when they come up that separate the two lakes. You will get beat up a little bit between them and boom bay but it's doable. Hope this helps. Just be careful if you head to the west end to troll and the winds are forecast to kick up. That's a long wide open stretch for waves to build. Good luck.

I have fished Winnebago in the past and there was a rule of thumb on wind and waves.  Anything more than 10 mph (sometimes 7 or 8) from the opposite shore meant that it would be very rough and it made sense to trailer to the other side or sit that day out.  I have a 26 foot fishing pontoon that I now have in the water south of Fremont.  I would like to spend some time trolling on Poygan as well as fishing for pike and panfish this summer.  Since I will be accessing the lake from either the mouth of the Wolf or through Boom Bay, I was wondering if there was a similar rule of thumb on wind on Poygan.  It is shallower so I am not sure if the idea matches Bago.  If the wind is out of the south, east or west greater than X miles per hour, it might be really rough on Poygan for me.  Any suggestions or help would be great!  Thanks.

Ice is all off Poygan and water level very low. Probably down 1.5 feet. Tried, and was unable to get into the Pumpkinseed yesterday. Maybe a flat bottom with a mud motor would make it. ​

Hey all, we drew upriver this year. Have checked the ice off the south side and its been 8-10" see a lot of folks out on Norwegian bay... How do you get to there as in lake access?  Thanks

Did anyone find a brand new Eskimo spud bar off of noffkes landing.. please let me know! Tight lines! 

Caught some Perch, but slow.. Fished 2-1-2024. Ice is bad. Dropped trailer wheel in out of Captains cove.   Was on 12 inches of ice, measured it. but then sun came out and softened it up. Ice was turning into soft honey cone.  .Done unless it hardens up again....Would not go out there any more at this time....see pictures

If this was my last time fishing Lake Poygan through the ice this year I’m glad it ended on a high note. Praying for colder temps middle of February!!
