The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is looking for feedback on experimental fishing regulations on three central Minnesota lakes. A public meeting will be held Monday at the Burtrum Community Center at 6:00 p.m.
The Minnesota DNR made headlines this week with the announcement that anglers could only take one walleye per day from Lake Mille Lacs. But, they also changed the northern pike regulations.
Hundreds, if not thousands of anglers will be heading to Minnesota's premiere walleye lake this weekend for the fishing opener. But, what kind of harvest numbers can they expect from Lake Mille Lacs?
The Department of Natural Resources is removing 15 Minnesota lakes from special fishing regulations for northern pike. The regulation is designed to boost the average size of northerns in those lakes. But a new state law caps the number of such lakes at 100.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says walleye regulations on Lake Mille Lacs this year will remain unchanged from 2010. But the agency is relaxing regulations for northern pike caught on Mille Lacs.
