The rule was created out of thin air by the Wisconsin DNR in 1999.

I believe it is intended to prevent the use of firearms to take fish from shallow streams ( example salmon or steelhead trout spawning upstream from large lakes) by shooting the fish with rifles or shotguns. The Fish Cops can thus arrest/ticket/confiscate firearms found in possession by residents near fishing areas. No poaching of fish need have happened yet, or witnessed, just the possession is a presumption of actual guilt by the fish cops of these crimes.

Used to be up in the northwoods of Wisconsin, musky fisherman would use 22’s to finish off the big fish.

Apparently fishing with guns is a lost art in the USA.

Exactly right. All regulations are written by one person.
It starts at your local city. They make up rules as they go. I am fighting it right now.

All of out 3-letter agencies are communistic, even anti-American.

The Fish Cops can thus arrest/ticket/confiscate firearms found in possession by residents near fishing areas. There is no exception for the "Fish Cops" to be armed. If they are carrying firearms, they are flagantly violating the DNR regulation.
People could take pictures of the "Fish Cops" with a firearm on the bank or shoreline, and turn them in on the hotline for violating the DNR regulation.

A law should be passed that any person or people who create or pass an unconstitutional law, such person or people responsible for the creation or passage of such aforementioned law, shall be sentenced to a minimum of 10 years and fined no less than $250,000.
It will stop the nonsense.

we desperately need to get free of unconstitutional agencies and agencies that create “regulations” to enslave us

Well, it does say “for the purpose of fishing”. So, you can’t shoot a fish but, interpreted correctly, you can still use it for self-defense.

Well, it does say “for the purpose of fishing”. Actually, it says: "..that might be used for the purpose of fishing."
Any firearm "might be used for the purpose of fishing."

Well, it does say “for the purpose of fishing”....That is to define the water, not the purpose. Fish are everywhere in Wisconsin, you know, everywhere there is water. It is like their definition of "wetlands."

Bow fishing is effective and legal in most places I have heard about.
What is the point in this crap? To make us all hate the appointed idiots in government.

Oregon used to have a prohibition on possession of firearms during archery season. Got tossed because ODFW lacked authority to preempt legislation.
Pretty sure Oregon still allows permit-less concealed carry for those participating in or going to, or coming from lawful fishing activity.

I have heard of dynamite being used. Is the DNR against that as well? //sarc//
