2-12-22 lake winnebago ice safety

todayFebruary 11, 2022

With the sturgeon spearing season getting underway this weekend the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office  is warning people to check ice conditions before heading out on Lake Winnebago.   Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s captain Bill Tadych says the Sheriff’s office will be out on the lake this weekend with an amphibious rescue craft.  The warning comes after a Fond du Lac man escaped injury last weekend when his pickup truck broke through thin ice about a half mile north of Frazier Point at Lakeside Park.  Tadych says a huge ice crack spans several miles from near Frazier Point north into Winnebago County.
