Before you go

A Wisconsin fishing licence runs $20 a year for residents. Wisconsin DNR sets the rules and is the one that counts.

What you may keep

WDNR sets a size or bag limit for 3 species here — 3 with at least one area open today. Where a species is open in one water and closed in another, its own page says which. Each page carries the agency's own figures, the date they were read, and what is still unsettled.

Can you eat what you catch?

That call belongs to Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, with the Department of Health Services (Wisconsin DNR) — the Choose Wisely guidance covers every Wisconsin water, even untested ones, with tighter limits on specific lakes. We link the source instead of paraphrasing health advice.
