A decline in the number of people hunting and fishing has prompted the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to develop a citizens council to help reverse the trend.
The Minnesota Department of Health is advising people not to eat any fish from Lake Elmo or any smallmouth bass from Lake Harriet under its updated fish consumption guidelines.
Ice fishing has a huge, almost religious-style following across the entire state of Minnesota, however, it's not the only way to catch that big trophy or dinner.
