Delavan Lake Free Fishing Weekend January 17 & 18.
Delavan Lake free fishing weekend will be January 17 and 18, 2015. During these two days, you can ice fish without a license that is usually required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR).
In addition to not needing a license, the WDNR has fishing equipment for loan. For more details on the fishing equipment loan program you can visit dnr.wi.gov.
Ice fishing is a growing sport in the area. What some people think of as a sport involving a five gallon bucket and thermal underwear, has really evolved to enclosed huts, tents or compounds, heaters, television sets and camaraderie.
