Where You Can Fish:

• All inland lakes and rivers

• Wisconsin’s portion of the Great Lakes

• The Mississippi River along the Wisconsin border

Please Note:
All other fishing regulations still apply, including:

• Bag and size limits

• Species-specific seasons and restrictions

This is the perfect opportunity to try fishing for the first time or introduce friends and family to the experience. Whether you're casting from a shoreline, boat, or pier, Wisconsin’s waters are open for adventure.

Life’s a fishing picnic — especially on Free Fishing Weekend.
Join us the first weekend in June for two days of free fishing fun.

Everyone is welcome. No license required. Just bring your gear.
