It seems that a few weeks ago there was a picture in the local paper showing the river froze tight to the Trempeleau lock and dam and people fishing on what was explained in the ajoining article to be a foot of ice. Said they were catching Walleys. Anyone know if this is still happing? I might take a drive down to check it out.
Last I heard it was froze shore to shore. The Dresbach Dam and the Lynxville Dam are froze across too. Both places are producing ‘eyes. You can catch fish in the evening @ dam #7 but for bigger fish I would recommend a morning outing. What I have heard from the Tremp. area is mostly small fish. Although that may be a fish story in itself. If you intend on going out from the MN side prepare for a walk. Good luck if you go.
The genoa lock and dam is froze over also and the eye bite is farly good with a little bit if an effort will produce a limit. 
The fishing at Trempealeau has slowed consistantly every day for the last 5 days I have been out. The fish have become very picky on what they want. Nothing as far as legal fish goes. It is tough. I have heard good reports from Dresbach. Using a Lindy Rig seemed to be the key as the fish are not active.

Drove down there yesterday, didn’t have the fishing stuff along. It did look like a contest out there. Can’t believe how close to the dam those guys are. Anyway, talked to a couple folks there who said they were catching a few. Not fast nor big. I guess I will probabally try tonight after work.
