You’ll Find Some of the Best Fishing on the Upper Wisconsin River! 

The Upper Wisconsin River is home to some of the best fishing in Wisconsin. If you are in need of a fishing pole, live bait, lures or other fishing gear, visit our Holiday Shores Convenience Store or Holiday Shores WaterSports Store.

If you are fishing along the shoreline or from your watercraft, you must have a valid fishing license issued by the State of Wisconsin. It’s best to get your fishing license before you get here and it’s simple to sign up. Just visit: https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/fishing/outreach/FishingLicenses.html
