Fishing opener is this Saturday, May 15! That means the start of fishing for walleye, bass, northern pike, and trout in lakes, plus the kickoff of the summer tourism season.
We treasure our fishing traditions in Minnesota, where we have about 1.4 million licensed anglers each year and a half a million of them who fish during the fishing opener. Minnesotans have extensive fishing opportunities — for a great variety of fish species — at 4,500 fishing lakes plus 3,800 miles of trout streams and 16,000 miles of fishable streams and rivers.
You can find fantastic fishing opportunities all across Minnesota, and your fishing license dollars help improve those opportunities. We wish you a great 2021 fishing season!
