Thanks for the info Wibob. The river I was referring to was not the Fox but the FondduLac river. I was born and raised there in the town of FondduLac in 1948 I have many memories of fishing Lake Winnebago. Wendt's was a bar/restaurant along the lake between FonduLac and Oshkosh where you would see the sturgeon hanging,much like the picture you sent. Don't know if ice is safe enough now?
Apparently there is still enough ice and some are brave(?) enough to get out there and give it a try. Numbers (participants and fish) are way down, as you would expect. My understanding is that Wendt's is still one of, if not THE, headquarters of the sturgeon experience for this week or so - but I've never been a part of this community. We're supposed to see high temps around 50 for the next few days, so I'm hoping we don't hear any unfortunate stories from out there.
