Round Goby Rule in Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s new emergency rule targets the invasive round goby, now spotted in the Winnebago System, with anglers required to decapitate, gut, or remove gills before keeping any caught — all to track spread and prevent ecological damage. Active from June 19 to November 16 next year, the DNR urges fishermen to report sightings via their online tool or Oshkosh office, emphasizing that once established, these aggressive fish are nearly impossible to eradicate. Prevention is key — transporting them without proper processing is banned — as communities rally to protect native waters from this unstoppable invader.
