Keeping pike? Minnesota has pike zone regulations

Know the special regulations for where you’re fishing

Before fishing, remember to check for any special regulations that are in effect where you plan to fish. Special regulations apply to specific waters and take precedence over statewide regulations. For lakes, find them on the DNR online regulations page, in the Minnesota Fishing Regulations handbook, posted at lake accesses, or by using the DNR LakeFinder. The handbook also has special regulations for rivers and streams, and the DNR StreamFinder includes special regulations for many Minnesota streams.
