Wisconsin Ice Fishing Expo

Wisconsin Ice Fishing Expo We're back for year 4, bigger than ever! Website: icefishexpo.com

Wisconsin Ice Fishing Expo, now in two hangars at the EAA Grounds in Oshkosh, right off I-41: second weekend of December 2026, (12/11, 12/12, 12/13)! The Wisconsin Ice Fishing Expo was “spawned” from the Wisconsin Fishing Expo, founded as the Madison Fishing Expo, the largest fishing-only consumer trade show in the Midwest, which began over 35 years ago. Our Bast Durbin Advertising team is taking our 25 years of experience in promoting, and now since 2015, owning that event, and expanding the brand to the cold-weather fishing seasons, and expand our annual fishing celebration even further. Like the spring event this Expo is, itself, an event that helps promote the sport of ice fishing, in all its aspects, to enthusiasts of all ages. Today, more than ever, it is important to understand that an ice fishing rod, tip-up or sturgeon spear is a tool that will inspire wholesome family memories in a way that video games or smart phones can’t touch. And, while you will find hundreds of exhibits – including hard to find lures, leading brands in the industry, great deals on shanties, apparel, electronics, and fishing trips of a lifetime- attendees will also have the chance to enjoy one-on-one time with members of the leading nonprofit fishing clubs from across the state, each one eager to help attendees improve their ice fishing skills for a lifetime. The Wisconsin Ice Fishing Expo experience doesn’t just offer products and services, but an avenue to make ice fishing a lifetime hobby that will help families stick together.
