Warm conditions continue to play havoc with area ice, as Lake Winnebago prepares for Sturgeon Spearing Season next weekend. The ice is very inconsistent in every portion of the lake, and several yards can make a major difference in ice depths. The best ice is near the city of Pipe on the east shore with about 12” of ice. Water clarity/visibility is about 8 to 9 feet. ATV’s are the only real mode of transportation on the lake currently, other than along the central east shore which has allowed limited vehicle use with high risk.
