To protect spawning fish, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has begun to close certain portions of some Minnesota waters. The closings are routine and based on local conditions.
Closings happen each year as ice melts and waters begin to warm. The DNR closes spawning locations to fishing only where habitat is limited and fish are very concentrated in one location, such as a segment of a river or the bay of a lake where fish congregate during spawning.
Areas closed to fishing are listed and updated regularly on the Minnesota DNR website (mndnr.gov/regulations/
