- Refresh yourself in, or on, one of Mercer area's
214 clean lakes. Mercer, in Southern Iron County
is lake country and home to the Turtle Flambeau
Flowage, “Wisconsin’s Crown Jewel”, offering
19,000 acres of water strewn with over 100 islands
and rimmed by 220 miles of wilderness shoreline.
Chances are you’ll hear the haunting call of a
loon, get a glimpse of a whitetail deer or reel in a
trophy from our fish-rich waters.
Free Fishing Weekend
Every year, the first consecutive Saturday and Sunday in June are designated as a Free Fishing
Weekend throughout the state of Wisconsin. Both residents and nonresidents of all ages can
fish without a fishing license (and trout stamps) over these two days. However, all other fishing
regulations (length limits, bag limits, etc.) apply.
This event is designed to encourage families to get out and fish together. People are
encouraged to participate in special activities planned at parks throughout the state, and also to
take advantage of programs at several state parks and at DNR regional offices that loan out
fishing equipment.
Because children under the age of 16 do not need a fishing license to fish on any day of the
year, the motto for Free Fishing Weekend could be, "Take a grown-up fishing!"
