Radical Changes in Wisconsin Fishing Laws
Wisconsin enacted sweeping changes to fishing laws effective immediately. The bill, signed by Gen. Blaine on June 27, introduces a closed season March 1 to June 1 for game fish, sets seasonal limits for bass and other species, and establishes varied bag limits with no size limits in many inland waters. The open season spans June 1 to March 11 for most game fish, with specific adjustments for Green Lake and Dane and Wisconsin lakes. The reform replaces the prior sections and includes sturgeon protections and restrictions on spawning.
