EARLY TROUT SEASON OFFERS AN ANGLING ALTERNATIVE TO ICE FISHING
Anglers have a great reason to celebrate the New Year thanks to the return of Early Trout Season. The season starts at 5 am on January 7th and runs until midnight May 5th. According to the DNR Trout Specialist, the early catch and release trout season offer opportunities for everyone willing to wade or walk a stream bank in winter.
The extended trout season is generating new interest in trout fishing and encouraging more people to take advantage of our world-class trout streams. In addition to the exhilaration of the experience, there's also a beneficial economic impact since dedicated trout anglers are willing travel to new trout streams in pursuit of great fishing opportunities. Helpful information on whether to spin or not to spin can be found at dnr.wi.gov on the early trout season webpage. As for where to fish, Wis's official maps of classified trout streams have been updated and feature more than 4 additional streams that have been classified as trout waters since 2014. Early season anglers must have a valid 2016-2017 fishing license and trout stamp, licenses are valid from the April 1 through March 31 the following year. Access DNR's online licensing system by searching "Go Wild.wi.gov." Enjoy fishing Wisconsin's trout streams in winter. The views can be spectacular, the fish are biting and it's great to be outdoors!
