Wisconsin Free Fishing Weekend

FREE FISHING WEEKEND JAN. 21-22, 2023

On Free Fishing Weekend, you can drill a hole and drop a line without a fishing license, trout stamp or salmon stamp. What a great opportunity for family and friends to give it a try!

REGULATIONS REMINDER

Please be aware that while you can fish without a license, all fishing regulations remain in effect, including seasons, bag limits and length limits.

• Review the 2022-2023 fishing regulations before you start out.
• Early season catch and release trout streams are included this weekend, but you do have to release the fish!
  Note: The early season does not apply to the following bodies of water, which are off-limits:
  • Spring ponds, ponds and lakes
  • Lake Michigan tributaries and major Green Bay tributaries
  • All other Green Bay tributary streams, rivers and ditches upstream to the first dam or lake or streams flowing into Lake Superior and their tributaries upstream to the first impassable barrier

Free Fishing Weekends are always held the third full weekend in January and the first full weekend in June.

Upcoming dates: Jan. 21-22, 2023 and June 2-3, 2023.
