Fisheree Season Is Here

In Wisconsin even winter can’t keep people from having a party. Somewhere back on a winter day, someone decided to get a bunch of people together and have a fishing contest. These first little get-togethers turned into what is now an annual event, held in the middle of the winter.

Fisherees consist of fishing, playing cards, door prizes and contests of skills. Many have separate contests for young kids, hole drilling competitions, raffles and who knows what else. It’s all accompanied by lots of good chili and hot dogs and usually a few cold beers too.

The annual Fisheree at Blackhawk Lake is this weekend on Sunday the 31st. There is free park admission and all are welcomed whether you fish or not. If you’ve never attended one of these winter events, give it a try. You don’t have to be a fisherman to enjoy a Fisheree.
