The state of Wisconsin is blessed with incredible fishing opportunities and getting active with one of our local Chapters is one of the best ways to meet passionate anglers eager to share their knowledge on where to go, how to improve your skills and what to use to find success fishing the rivers and streams we work together to restore.
Always be sure to check the state fishing regulations (LINK TO WDNR INLAND TROUT REGULATIONS PAGE) and never hesitate to attend a Trout Unlimited event to meet people who can answer your questions.
WISCONSIN’S INLAND TROUT STAMP
Trout anglers in Wisconsin are required to purchase an Inland Trout Stamp in addition to your fishing license. All funds raised from the trout stamp program are used on stream improvements and trout management in Wisconsin. It’s our way to ensure future generations have access to cold, clean, fishable trout water in Wisconsin.

WISCONSIN’S GREAT LAKES TROUT AND SALMON STAMP
Since 1982, anglers fishing for salmon or trout in Wisconsin’s Great Lakes (and their tributaries up to the first dam) have been required to purchase a Salmon Stamp in addition to a fishing license. Revenues from the sale of Salmon Stamps help support the DNR trout and salmon rearing and stocking program for the Great Lakes.
