What a difference one week can make in Wisconsin…one week overnight lows of 70s and no less than a week later we hit 36 degrees. Crazy!! Anyways, here is a neat pic of the fog on Dells pond at sunrise. Fishing was okay from 6-6:45am, but once the fog left and there was little wind to speak of, the bite shut down completely.
Good thing I had gloves in my truck! Boy was it cold. Even with the gloves I found myself sticking my hands in the water quite frequently to keep the hands warm 
Nice pics! Looks like a beautiful morning! Ice fishing is just around the corner 
What species u fishing on the pond? Was out there last night for the first time. Live next to it and yet to figure it out.
I wouldn’t call that wisconsin fog was on the river 2 weeks ago and you couldn’t see 40yrds in front of you and didn’t lift till 10:00am.

I just started fishing the pond this year from my canoe. I had a terrifying experience with a buddy that was a novice paddler,at best, and white caps about 5 years ago…it can get real windy out there!
May/June I was trying for smallies/pike/musky with limited success. Any sort of white topwater will get you some snake pike and the occasional decent one (25in+). Fish weedlines, shallow.
End of July through now I’ve been throwing cranks on shallow flats(6-12ft) and having some decent days of walleye and smallies. Best Luck I’ve had on these flats are ones near the channel, but I also see people catching some decent walleye/crappie along the south/southwest shorlines. Those are the largest holes I believe. Jigs with minnows, crawlers works there. Smallie action can get crazy on the Southside from where the VFW is and that whole south side.
Upstream from Riverview Park Landing where it is more river than “pond” is more consistent for walleyes though if you are into trolling.
Also try trolling the edges of the channel at dusk for some big musky….they are out there!
Good luck. It took me awhile to figure it out and I still struggle to catch fish sometimes. On the plus side I have not caught a “slot” walleye there yet this year! Haven’t been keeping, but I find that strange …pm me if you ever wanna fish or need any tips.
