Who Needs A License To Fish? This Weekend, No License Is Needed At Minnesota’s State Parks

Don't let a little thing like a fishing license get between you and the big ones this weekend.  As Minnesota gets ready for the Walleye Fishing Opener this weekend, the Department of Natural Resources reminds everyone about a recent change in the law that allows you to fish for free within most state parks.

The law was changed in 2009 - and it currently allows Minnesota residents to shore-fish at most lakes within the state park system without a license.

It should be noted that you do have to comply with applicable fishing limits and regulations.
