OUTWIGO FOR FREE FISHING WEEKEND JAN. 20-21
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is hosting Free Fishing Weekend Jan. 20 21 to share the fun and excitement of winter fishing. No fishing license or trout and salmon stamps are required.
Anglers can fish in state waters where there is an open fishing season. All other fishing regulations apply, including limits on the size and number of fish that can be kept and any seasons when anglers must release certain fish species.
As a reminder, anglers cannot fish spring trout ponds during the winter Free Fishing Weekend. Please review the trout regulations and the 2023-2024 Hook and Line regulations for more information.
If you plan to keep fish, review the DNR's Safe Eating Guidelines to stay informed of potential consumption advisories impacting some waterbodies throughout the state.
Winter Fishing Reminders
Remember, no ice is 100% safe. Always tell someone where you are fishing and when you'll return before heading out on the ice. Also, check in with local bait shops for current ice conditions. If conditions are questionable, opt to cast to open water from shore.

From: Hasz, Justine R - DNR
Sent: Wednesday, December 6, 2023
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this email to you all today. Over the past weekend former Wild Rose Hatchery Supervisor Steve Fajfer passed away after a year long battle with cancer.
Steve retired in 2017 after a 38 year career with the DNR and the fisheries program. For over 20 years Steve was the supervisor of the Wild Rose State Fish Hatchery and was instrumental in the renovations of the hatchery that make it our flag ship facility raising 6 species that are stocked in the Great Lakes and Inland waters across the State.
At this time there is no specific information on services for Steve but we are expecting that services will be held in January.
