Winter Free Fishing Weekend

Fish anywhere in Wisconsin without a license or trout stamp. This includes all inland waters and Wisconsin's side of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River, except for spring trout ponds.  Other fishing rules apply, such as limits on the number and size of fish you can keep and any seasons when you must release certain fish species.

No Ice is Safe Ice. Never assume that ice is safe. Check with a local bait shop and review ice safety before venturing out. Learn more about ice safety on the Department of Natural Resources website.
