Is the Wisconsin back channel navigable with a 16 foot fishing boat from the Launch at Mr Sippi’s to Goose Lake?
I’m hearing both yes and no.
Those are both correct answers.
Have a little river knowledge… Go for it.
Have none… Don’t.
I’ve ran the entire stretch in February low water.
It isn’t February low right now.
Take your time.
I was down there last weekend.
Take your time by the sandbars below the power lines.
Like FBRM said, if you’re new to the back channel, take the main river.

Or, when you come around the corner and see the power lines, stop and wait for another boat to pass by. Then tail pipe them at a safe distance through the sand bars.

Yes, because what is funnier than 1 stuck boat is 2
Careful who you follow

Key words – safe distance. Far enough back to stop.

Once a boat goes through if you follow it their wake should make it very apparent where the sand bars are, correct? Just like waking a wing dam?

Where sand bars form is obvious to many who understand how water flows.
If your familiar with the river and spend as much time on it as I do you’ll come to understand that many people don’t know how rivers flow
Your best to take your time and learn the path or take the main channel. There’s plenty of dead heads outside the main channel.
