After a lot of work by a few WBA members, a new law was passed in the Wisconsin state legislature. Basically the new law stated that if bowfishing is allowed on a water during the day it will also be allowed at night. In some parts of the state there are season dates and to find those please check the WDNR Netting and Spearing Regulations at Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources

A big thank you to all of the members that helped get this bill passed.

The following list is the original list of waters that were open to night bowfishing.

*Some recommendations that we ask of you are:

~Contact the warden in the area where you planning on shooting and let him know what you are doing. Even invite him along and show him what it's all about. Contact the WBA at (608) 756-5605 for the warden that you might need.

~Keep away from public & populated areas. The less people that you encounter, the less disturbance you'll make.

~Stay off of heavily populated lakes such as Lake Geneva & Delavan lakes. There isn't much lake available that doesn't have a house perched upon it.

We understand that you don't have to follow anything that we ask, but if you enjoy bowfishing, perhaps you'll think about what is asked here, and help keep this a popular and prosperous sport!

Thank You!
