 You have a couple ways you can go, contact your department of Natural Resources,or the Wisconsin Trappers Association.
 I am not sure which WTA district you  are in(I am a lifetime member),but I live in MN.The WTA is a very good organization, with a lot of great members.I am sure ,members in your area will give you a hand.

Welcome to the board and back to the area!
I live on the south end of LaCrosse.
Information and license for trapping the river can be picked up at the US Fish & Wildlife office 555 Lester Ave Onalaska.

Welcome back! I'd do what mac said! I know that there are a ton of special rules and regs for the big muddy! They try to cater to all the sportsmen! I guess we all need to share the the land.

 North Dakota--few regulations--few people.
 Wisconsin/Minnesota---a regulation for everything---and people everywhere.
