Kids, Parents and Educators

Children can learn to hook there own worms with the help of an adult.

We all remember our first visit to one of Wisconsin's lakes or streams, and we love to pass that experience on to others. Keeping Wisconsin's wonderful angling tradition alive begins with our children, and taking them fishing is an experience that they, like you, will never forget.

We want to do everything we can to support our next generation of anglers, and below you will find a collection of some of the programs and other information offered to make it easier for your children to enjoy fishing in Wisconsin.
