Anglers should be aware that the game fish season on most inland Wisconsin waters closes at the end of the day on Sunday, March 4th.
The panfish seasons remain open year-round as does the season for certain game fish select lakes and river, including much of the Wisconsin River and its impoundments. Waters that remain open are listed in the Guide to Wisconsin Hook and Line Fishing Regulations and on the Department of Natural Resources Web site.
In addition, an early trout season opens 5 a.m. on March 3 and continues until Sunday, April 29 at midnight. The early season is catch-and-release only, and only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used while fishing for any species of fish on trout streams.
Most trout streams are open to early fishing with the exception of most Lake Superior tributaries and most streams in northeast Wisconsin.
Since 2005, the inland game fishing season has been set to close at the end of the day of the first Sunday in March.
