Location: Menasha, WI | Charter/captain license and a state of WI guide license for the Winnebago system. It is classified as Federal Waters.
Other inland lakes require only a state of WI guide license.

| You can get a Limited Capt. License which will let you guide on federal inland water and rivers, such as Winnebago. the Cost and time is less than the full blown "six pack". |

| Just wondering, what about ice fishing? Do you need the Capt. license for that also on the Winnebago system?

| Good question Thumper. I had to think on that one and will take a stab at it. I think a U.S.C.G. captain's license is required when you run a "boat for hire". Since you don't run a boat on ice it may mean no captain's license is needed. I would think a Wis. Guide license is still required though......jim |

| On the ice... No, you would not need the US Coast Guard License until your truck fell through with customers in the bed...LOL
Seriously, that is probably a good "technical" question that should be run past the Coast Guard for a definitive answer.... Stranger interpretations have happened in the past... |

| USCG Not needed to guide on Winnebago ice fishing. But then again I wouldn't choose a guide on the system that didn't have one.
Good Luck

| Good Input guys! So I am assuming that is correct, I would need a limited capt. license and a wisconsin guide license to do some guiding on the winnebago system. Thanks |
