Harvest update from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources:
Although no harvest caps were reached for the Winnebago System this year, 142 juvenile females, 322 adult females and 479 males were harvested, and the 90-99% harvest trigger was met for the Upriver Lakes today on the final day.
For the season, there were 280 juvenile females, 717 adult females and 1,002 males harvested from Lake Winnebago, and 47 juvenile females, 49 adult females and 230 males harvested on the Upriver Lakes. This makes a total of 943 fish for the system, more than twice what was harvested last year. While water clarity was difficult, many were able to persevere.
Impressively, another 2 fish were harvested over 100 pounds, bringing the total to 63 for the season, or just about 6% of the total harvest. That is incredible.
