Wisconsin Sturgeon Spearing 2027 Guide | Madison News

Want to spear sturgeon in Wisconsin’s Upriver Lakes this year? Deadline’s August 1, 2026, to apply for one of 500 limited tags—or snag a preference point. Groups are ranked by the lowest points, and you can buy points if you’re not ready to commit. If you’re picked, you’ll hear back by October 1, 2026; otherwise, you get a free point for next year and can still buy a Lake Winnebago tag by October 31. Season opens February 13, 2027, for 16 days (or until harvest limits hit). Apply online via Go Wild or at any license office—easy entry to this iconic Wisconsin tradition.
