Wisconsin Nonresident Fishing Lic.???

Grand daughter is coming to the lake this weekend. She is 13 yrs. old. Does she need a fishing lic. or will she be covered under mine?

Im pretty sure kids uner 16 do not need a license whether they are residents or non-residents as long as they are not trapping minnows or going after smelt

True dat. She doesnt need a license. Oh and apparently she cant noodle for carp either.

Wisconsin residents who are 16 years old or older need a fishing license to fish in any

waters of the state. Residents need a fishing license to take rough fish by hand, hook

and line or to spear fish where allowed. Residents do not need a fishing license to take

smelt, rough fish, or minnows with nets, traps, and seines of legal size. (Obtain the

Guide to Wisconsin Spearing, Netting, and Bait Harvest Regulations, 2012-2013 for

additional regulations).

Nonresidents who are 16 years old or older need a nonresident fishing license to fish

in Wisconsin waters with hook and line. Nonresidents need a fishing license to take

rough fish by hand, hook and line, or to spear fish where allowed. Nonresidents of any

age need a fishing license to take smelt, spear fish, or to take rough fish and minnows

using nets, traps, and seines of legal size. Nonresidents may not sell minnows or smelt.

Nope. Under 16 she’s fine.

Thanks for the reply. Everyone have a Great and Safe Weekend!!!!!
