It’s so much more than just a stamp. As trout anglers in Wisconsin, this is our legacy, our downpayment on better trout habitat for future generations. We all pitch in a little bit and enjoy the benefits of all the great work being done to improve our trout fisheries here in Wisconsin.

But where does the money go? By law, it can only be spent on inland trout habitat projects and trout management. Let’s break it down (per the latest Trout Stamp Expenditure Report:
83.4% - trout habitat projects
13.4% - beaver management on Coldwater streams
2.7% - cold water fish passage projects
0.3% - program administration
0.2% - trout habitat equipment

The Legislative Fiscal Bureau reports that trout stamp revenues have lost purchasing power in recent years amid high inflation.

Bills introduced this week in the Legislature would make a $6 inflation adjustment to the Inland Trout Stamp (Thank you to bill Authors Sen. Rachael Cabral-Guevara and Rep. Duke Tucker!)

Use the link in our bio to ask your legislators to support this investment by anglers in our cold water fisheries.

ACTION ALERT Jan 5th deadline! On November 17, 2025, the U.S. EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“the Agencies”) jointly announced a proposed rule to dramatically restrict which bodies of water are protected by the safeguards of the Clean Water Act.

Where will this stop?

Last minure call to action. Our county to the south is just about to greenlight yet another 2 factory farms. This time the company behind it has skirted the law by separating the facilities into two separate businesses/sites and having one animal shy of having to call itself a CAFO legally. That's some shady stuff and already brings into question the intentions.
Email the Crawford County conservationist and let them know that these farms will destroy tourism and recreation. Make sure to let them know how far and how often you travel to fish these creeks.
Crawford county will soon be known as CAFO county...
