Fishing Regulations for 2011-2012

To assist Wisconsin anglers with their fishing, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) produces several fishing regulation pamphlets which are specific to the species of fish and, in some cases, the waterbody. Generally, fishing seasons do not coincide with the calendar year. Be sure that you are familiar with the correct fishing regulations for the season, species and waterbody on which you are fishing.
