Fishing

Ice Fishing is permitted on both Zander's and Beckman Lakes. All Wisconsin fishing regulations apply. The Department of Natural Resources does not monitor ice conditions or thickness. Be extremely cautious of ice conditions at all times. Ice thickness during the early season may not be enough to support a person; and springs, animals, or currents can cause thin ice at any time of the year.
