Trout season pretty much shuts down Sept 30 in WI. That doesn't mean that fishing does. There is always something to fish for somewhere.

I should have mentioned that MN has an early C&R season that begins in Jan. Living so close to the border you may want to consider a license there also. And I believe IA trout stays open all year. You will be within an hours drive or less.
