River Map
About Wolf River
The Wolf River in northeastern Wisconsin is one of the state's largest and most productive trout rivers — a freestone river with wild brown trout, brook trout, and a defining Hexagenia hatch. The state-managed trout fishery extends down to Hwy M; everything below Hwy M is on the Menominee Indian Reservation and is tribal water. A state license is NOT valid below Hwy M — angling there requires a Menominee tribal permit.
Regulations
State license valid only above Hwy M — below is Menominee Indian Reservation tribal waters requiring a Menominee tribal permit. Wisconsin Fishing License required ($20 resident + $10 trout/salmon stamp = $30) for state-managed sections. Season opens first Saturday in May. Verify Langlade County special-regulation sections in current Wisconsin DNR trout regulations.
