Minnesota DNR announces changes to record fish program, allowing 18 more catch-and-release opportunities
Published: , in Outdoor News
Anglers will have new opportunities to catch a Minnesota state record fish.
Starting March 1, anglers can earn catch-and-release records for 18 species beyond the four current species (northern pike, muskie, lake sturgeon, and flathead catfish) that are recognized, a change the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said the agency is making in response to the increasing popularity of catch-and-release fishing and to raise the profile of native rough fish.
