MADISON, Wis. (WJMC) — Free fishing weekend comes to Wisconsin.
The Department of Natural Resources says Free Fishing Weekend allows anglers to cast out across Wisconsin without a license, a trout stamp or a salmon stamp regardless of age.
Some trout spots will remain closed. Other regulations such as bag and size limits and species restrictions remain in effect.
The DNR reminds anglers to check ice conditions before heading out. If you are a first time ice angler you can check dnr.wisconsin.gov for locations to rent equipment.
