Can anyone tell me if Wilhelm is open water? I haven't been there over winter and not sure how much ice they had there. Can you launch a boat yet? Thanks.

I was up Saturday just to check on the eagle nest. There was a lot of open water some thin ice near causeway and then up to I-79 ... no boats out that I saw ....

drove over today no ice. Monday  thin patches  

Thanks for the replies. How about down by the dam? Is launch one area free of ice? Thanks again.

Drove over causeway today. No ice..I used to look forward to spring fishing on Wilhelm...Hasn't been very good for the past 4-5 yrs...Maybe this year ??

anybody fishing Wilhelm lately? Seems like this lake is the forgotten one on this forum

BeenThereDoingThat but sorry, my New Years Resolution just won't allow me to "spot burn".

However, knowing my info will be totally safe on this thread and you have a secrete decoder ring..... goforit!

Wife and I are planning on hitting it tomorrow ... hopefully 👍 Probably try BTDT hours ... ya knowv 1 ish to maybe dark ....😜

Ok wife and I did hit Wilhelm this afternoon ... only 4 hrs the wind was crazy ... white caps and all that good stuff... did get 12 Crappie only kept 4 ... they were around 9 or 10 " other ones were maybe about 7" .. lost a few more that probably would have made cooler but over all it was a nice time out on the water with my wife... fished from 1:45 until 6:00 that was enough for us both .... worked down by the dam and launch 1...

Steve glad to hear you and your better half got on the water today and caught fish.

I'm sure the wind showed absolutely noooo mercy while driving straight down the lake.

Next couple days I'm gonna give it another try except after reading Marco's report, I'm not sure which lake.

Dang, I hate having to make decisions.
