Urban Fishing

Several ponds are designated as urban fishing waters to make fishing opportunities more readily available and encourage more people, especially youngsters, to go fishing. Fishing regulations [PDF, 2MB] that apply to these ponds are found on pages 20-21 of the Guide to Wisconsin Hook and Line Fishing Regulations, 2011-2012..
