Minnesotans can fish free statewide with kids Jan. 17-19 During this three-day weekend, any Minnesota resident can go fishing for free if fishing with a child 15 years old or younger.
Minnesotans 15 years old or younger don’t need fishing licenses any time of the year.
Fishing informatio, is available on the Minnesota DNR fishing page (mndnr.gov/fishing). People should be cautious on the ice. Don’t rely exclusively on condition reports. Those going out on the ice should check the ice and not just for thickness; white ice can be deceiving.
