Anglers grab your poles, because this weekend you can fish for free in Wisconsin.
Fishermen, women, and children will be able to fish state waters where there is an open season on January 15th and 16th without a fishing license or trout and salmon stamps.
Theresa Stabo, DNR Fishing Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation Coordinator said that “Free Fishing Weekend is a great opportunity for people from all walks of life to give angling a try, without the added step and expense of getting a fishing license.”
As a reminder, anglers cannot fish spring trout ponds during the Winter Free Fishing Weekend.
You are encouraged to review the trout regulations and 2021-2022 Hook and Line regulations for more information.
The next Free Fishing Weekend will take place June 4-5, 2022.
