FREE FISHING WEEKEND
Our Free Fishing Weekend, Jan. 21-22, makes it easy to bring family and friends along to discover why fishing on ice is so nice.
Wisconsin residents and visitors alike can fish for free (no fishing license or trout stamp needed) on all inland lakes and rivers as well as on Wisconsin’s waters of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. All other usual regulations and seasonal restrictions apply.
Free ice fishing clinics are being held in many locations statewide and many DNR offices and parks have ice fishing equipment you can borrow if you call ahead.
