Wisconsin Anglers Can Now Keep Unlimited Round Gobies, Ruffe and White Perch

A new permanent Wisconsin rule, effective November 1, lets anglers keep round gobies and ruffe from any state water, and white perch, without limit, the Department of Natural Resources says. Gobies and ruffe must be gutted, beheaded or have their gills removed right away, as must white perch taken from inland waters. The DNR still asks anglers to report any goby caught in the Winnebago System, where no population has been established, and to report other detrimental species from inland waters to the local fisheries biologist.
