If you want to start out fishing this season already, you will need to purchase a new fishing license in the state unless you are really old or very young.  The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reminds anglers that anyone over the age of 15 must buy a fishing license unless they were born before 1927.  Licenses are sold annually and are good from April 1 through March 31 every year.   You can purchase your new license online at GoWild.wi.gov or locally at the DNR Service Center at 110 South Neenah Avenue in Sturgeon Bay.  More than one million people have purchased Wisconsin fishing licenses in recent years with over a dozen types of licenses offering fishing privileges.  Stamps are required to catch inland Trout, Sturgeon, and Salmon or Trout in Lake Michigan.  You can find more information on buying a fishing license here.
