Just took a trip fishing on the Mississippi River. I was going to buy a 4-day license, but Wisconsin has a deal. For a dollar more, you can get a full season license. Great deal. Now I can fish all year in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Better grease up those buddy bearings.

Hey wait a minute... I'm calling BS on this one!

I'd love a non-resident WI license for a buck. All I see is, well I don't see anything.

Send a link. I'd like to save $49.

It's true, WI license fees are severely reduced if you haven't bought a license there in 10 years or more. They call it 'first time buyer' licenses and you can check out the whole spread on the WI DNR's website.

Non-resident Annual Fishing First Time Buyer licenses are currently $25.75

They have the same program for residents. Cost is only $5 for a resident.

Yeah I recall that when I first bought a resident license there. Super cheap the first year since I was a first-timer

Read the fine print...
He says a dollar more than a 4-day non-resident license.

Ahh... thanks! Darn speed-reading course makes me skip important words.

If you buy the family fishing license, it's good for you, your spouse, and all 16& 17 year old children. If you buy a trout stamp (inland or Great Lakes) that trout stamp applies to all of those family members included in the family fishing license.

Just purchased mine. Had to pay a 52 cent convenience fee online.
