Free Fishing

Free fishing is allowed in Minnesotata state parks with one exception, according to DNR Mentoring Coordinator Mike Kurre. He says there is no charge, unless fishing for trout.

Kurre says there is no need for a fishing license. He says there is a free fishing program at Kathio State Park on Mille Lacs Lake Fridays from 3-5 p.m. Rods and reels are provided.

The weekend of June 11-13 is "Take a Kid Fishing Weekend" in which adults can take kids fishing without the need of a fishing license.
