🪪 Do I need a fishing license to fish at the Bear Brook?

Fishing in Wisconsin requires a valid state fishing license for anglers. Options include resident and non-resident, annual and short-term licenses, available online or from authorized retailers statewide.

In Wisconsin, no fishing license is required for anglers under 16. Residents 65 and older qualify for a discounted license. A few other exceptions worth knowing:

  • Free fishing days — most states designate 1–2 weekends a year where anyone can fish without a license

  • Tribal waters — tribal members fishing on tribal land operate under separate tribal regulations

  • Private ponds — landowners fishing their own water typically don't need a license

Non-residents usually pay more for a license than residents. Some species also require an extra stamp or endorsement on top of your base license.
