Wisconsin Fishing License question

[pisces]

Anyone out there have a Wisconsin license? I have one at the Wisconsin cabin and not home right now. I would like to know when my license from last year expires this spring. I see my Minnesota is good until 4-30.

Expires March 31st, 2010

With Licenses available now it looks like it's time to fork out the $50 for a 2010 license.

Thanks Guys. Yes, and I won't even go off about the price for the Non-Res license (I pay property taxes to that state), especially when I have to guy one for my wife also = 100 bucks, yikes!

I buy the family fishing license and it was 65 dollars, did the price go up this year? It wouldn't suprise me if it did.

Actually I'm glad you asked that. I did see a family license for $65 that is listed as "Family License (includes children 16 and 17 years old)". I did intend to find out if that does in fact cover a spouse as it does not specifically say that it does. Also the fact that there is no Non-Resident Husband and Wife liocense available made me unsure.

I regularly visit the parents in Alaska, and we do fishing. Non res license + king salmon stamp.. It makes non-res licenses in the midwest almost seem free.

I have found out the answer to my own inquiry. Yes, the family license includes husband,wife and children 16 &17.

You mean my state DNR Only charges you guys $50? I think it should be double so we still have some fish left. Just out of curiosity, why would MN people come over this way to fish? yes we do have more lakes than you and there is a bar every 22 ft along the roadway,

but still.

I think they come here to fish for the same reason i go to rainy lake. A Vacation

I live only 9 miles from the boarder, but have a cabin in WI.. There are a ton of small lakes just across the boarder that are a ton of fun to fish.. its why I buy the $50 every year.
