Fishing licenses - a Wisconsin bargain
Fishing Wisconsin
Wisconsin is a great state to fish! Kids 15 and under fish free every day. So do anglers born before 1927 and active-duty military on furlough or leave who are Wisconsin residents. For everybody else, a variety of license options can get you out on the water quickly, easily and at a bargain price. So get your license to relax and enjoy what Wisconsin has to offer!
