Can you fish bass all year long in Wisconsin as long as you catch and release? 

 

Also, if you fish the Mississippi pools in the lacrosse area do you need to get a out of state fishing license if you're a Minnesota resident?

Yes, Wisconsin has a year round bass season.  Its mandatory C & R until the harvestable portion opens up in May.

 

You can also fish the pools along the border if you have either state license.  Just bear in mind that MN has import restrictions on live bait and you cannot enter with live bait that originates from WI.

Great! Thank you
