*MADISON, Wis.* – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds anglers that the last day of the 2024 general inland trout fishing season is Tuesday, Oct. 15. After this date, anglers will no longer be allowed to fish inland streams, springs and spring-fed ponds for trout or salmon.   

Trout and salmon can still be harvested from most inland lakes or ponds, though there are some exceptions. Check the 2024-2025 Guide to Wisconsin Trout Fishing Regulations [ [link removed] ] for details.  

Anglers can use the DNR’s _Trout Regulations and Opportunities User Tool [ [link removed] ]_ to find trout fishing locations across the state.  

For those not harvesting their catch, the DNR encourages anglers to continue practicing responsible catch and release. Helpful tips on proper fish handling and release techniques are available on the DNR’s Responsible Catch and Release webpage [ [link removed] ].

Wisconsin’s general inland trout season will reopen on May 3, 2025.
