This coming weekend is Wisconsin’s Winter Free Fishing Weekend. Residents and non-residents can fish anywhere in Wisconsin without a license or trout stamp! At this point, our ice appears to be thick enough to get out and fish on the ice, but you can fish from shore as well. All the other rules still apply, …

The iconic fishing lakes like Yellow Lake, Clam Lake and Big McKenzie Lake are popular destination lakes for fishing. But our smaller less known lakes support a good fish population as well.
