Join Minnesota's Take a Kid Fishing Weekend for Family Fun

UNDATED (WJON News) -- It could be a busy few days at area lakes and waterways for Take a Kid Fishing Weekend.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources allows adults to fish without a license this Friday through Sunday as long as they take a child 15-years-old or younger along with them.

It also coincides with the DNR's pause in fishing license sales due to Minnesota's new electronic licensing system transition. Adults can fish without a license until the new ELS is in place, starting on Tuesday.

Kids who are 15 or younger never need a license, but must observe all fishing seasons and other regulations.

The DNR says Take a Kid Fishing Weekend is one of many outdoor activities people can do during June, which is Great Outdoors Month in Minnesota.
