North East Wisconsin Sports Fishermen

Northeastern Wisconsin Great Lakes Sport Fishermen (NEWGLSF) serves approximately 500 members and 40 business sponsors annually. NEWGLSF was created in 1974 to provide a civilian agency to work with the public and its elected officials, including the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service, and all Federations or Councils to protect and enhance our Great Lakes Sport Fishery.

​

NEWGLSF operates one of the Best Cold-Water Trout and Salmon Rearing Facilities along Wisconsins East Coast at the Manitowoc Lincoln Park Zoo. The organization has raised and released over 6,000,000 trout and salmon for Lake Michigan sport fishermen. In the last several years NEWGLSF has invested nearly $20,000 in improvements to the Trout and Salmon Rearing Facility.
