WI DNR - Angler Education - Clinics and Learning Opportunities Update
Free Fishing Weekend: June 1 - 2, 2013
Fish anywhere in Wisconsin for free
Fish anywhere in Wisconsin without a license or trout stamp on Free Fishing Weekend. This includes all inland waters and Wisconsin’s side of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River. Other fishing rules apply, such as limits on the number and size of fish you can keep and any seasons when you must release certain fish species. So, pack up the family or call your friends and head to the water for fishing fun.
Pssst! We also have Winter Free Fishing Weekend. Next year it will be on January 18-19, 2014.

Plan 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.
