Lake Winnebago is a large freshwater lake in eastern Wisconsin. It is the largest lake within the state.
It is about 30 by 10 miles (50 by 16 km), and has a surface area of 137,708 acres (557 km²).[2] It has 88 miles of shoreline.[2] It is the largest lake completely within Wisconsin. It has an average depth of 15.5 feet (4.7 m) and a maximum depth of 21 feet (6.4 m).
The lake is characterized by having many shallow reefs along the west shore, and a drop-off type shoreline on the east. There are several islands along the west shore.
Lake Winnebago has two primary tributaries, the Wolf River and the Fox River. It is drained by the Fox River which flows north towards the Bay of Green Bay and serves as part of the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway. Lake Winnebago is part of a larger system of lakes in Wisconsin known as the Winnebago Pool.
Fishing Description:
It is one of the more heavily fished lakes in the state. Many fisherman consider it one of the nation's top walleye fisheries. Other species present include Bluegill, Largemouth bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Perch, Burbot, White bass, Freshwater drum, channel catfish, flathead catfish, and Smallmouth bass.
Lake Winnebago is also very popular for ice fishing. It is not uncommon for 10,000 cars to park on Lake Winnebago during the ice fishing season. Expansion cracks on the ice are bridged. Many cities along east and west shores plow roads on the icy surface. Ice fishing is dominated by sauger and walleye, with rare perch and white bass catches.
The lake had the United States' largest population of sturgeon in 2003, which are speared during a February season.
