Plan a Fishing Clinic!
Throughout the year, the Department of Natural Resources works with local parks departments, fishing clubs, and organizations to host fishing clinics and other events. Now is the time to start planning your own fishing clinic to usher in a summer of fishing fun! Use these events to kick off summertime youth fishing clubs and get anglers of all ages out to the water's edge.
Download the General Event Planning Form, [PDF,60KB] to be used anytime. Return your completed form to the Angler Education Office at the DNR. Contact Kim Anderson, (608) 261-6431 if you would like a planning form mailed to you.
Participants 16 years or older will need fishing licenses to fish at these events, unless they occur on Free Fishing Weekend. Call contacts for complete information.
New! One-day license!
Wisconsin is now offering a one-day fishing license to those anglers that want to give Wisconsin fishing a try. Choose your water. Choose your friends. Choose your day. It's that simple.
Remember, kids 15 and under never need a license!
Every year, the first consecutive Saturday and Sunday in June are designated as Free Fishing Weekend when you can fish without a license throughout the state of Wisconsin. For 2011, it's June 4 and 5.
