*MADISON, Wis.* – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced the launch of their new Wisconsin Fishing Finder [ [link removed] ], a comprehensive online fishing resource for anglers.

There are lots of great places to fish in Wisconsin, including over 15,000 inland lakes, 42,000 miles of perennial streams and rivers, 1,000 miles of Great Lakes shoreline and 260 miles of the Mississippi River. With so many places to choose from, finding the place you want to fish is a little like finding a needle in a haystack. The Wisconsin Fishing Finder is here to help anglers find the fishing spot they are looking for.

The Wisconsin Fishing Finder works using any internet browser to give anglers access to various fishing information, including:


* Fishing regulations (including bag and length limits) for lakes and trout streams
* Boat launch locations and access points
* Shore fishing locations
* Public lands and easements
* Healthy guidelines for eating fish
* Lake habitat information
* Habitat improvement projects
* Invasive species
* Fish stocking information
* DNR service center locations and where you can buy a fishing license

"We've created this tool to help anglers find new places to fish or get insights into their current favorite fishing spots," said Justine Hasz, DNR Fisheries Management Bureau director. "This is an easy-to-use resource that we hope will become a staple for all anglers looking to discover more about Wisconsin's fishing opportunities."

The information on the DNR's TROUT tool [ [link removed] ], including trout streams, regulations and easements, is now available on the Wisconsin Fishing Finder. The DNR urges any anglers currently using TROUT to transfer their bookmarks and saved locations to the Wisconsin Fishing Finder, as the TROUT tool will be turned off at the end of May.
