Season extended 1 day?

[Walleye Guy]

A bait store near Luck, Wisconsin told me that the Wisconsin game fish season has been extended 1 day so fisherman can fish next Saturday, March 1. Has anyone heard of this?

I don't want to be setting up my tip-ups next Saturday and have a conservation officer ask me what I was doing.

Thanks in advance.

That's news to me. Try the Wisconsin DNR Web site. If that's happened, they'll have posted info there.

Guys, I think a few years back I called the DNR about this.The regulations say the gamefish seasons run from the first saturday in May until March 1st.I'm pretty sure it says "dates inclusive", which I think means it closes at midnight on Saturday.Let me know if that's not right.Don't need a ticket.

I checked the WI DNR HSOforum, it says that the dates ARE inclusive.

Check out the walleye regs:
