The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced that the 2024 – 2025 Guide To Wisconsin’s Fishing Regulations is now available online.
These regulations, which include changes to walleye/sauger bag limits on inland waters and new registration rules for small tournaments, will go into effect on April 1st.
All residents and non-residents over 16 must have a 2024 – 2025 general fishing license to fish in Wisconsin.
Annual resident licenses cost $20 each or purchase a spousal license for $31, so you and your spouse can fish together.
All fishing licenses and stamps can be purchased online via Go Wild, at a registered sales location or at DNR Service Centers.
You can find these general fishing regulations, as well as the trout fishing regulations, online and at locations where licenses are sold.
