Take A Kid Ice Fishing This Weekend

(KNSI) – Minnesotans can drop a line for free when they have a child with them during Take a Kid Ice Fishing Weekend.

The Department of Natural Resources says during the three-day weekend, any resident can go ice fishing for free if fishing with a child 15 years old or younger. Minnesotans 15 years old or younger don’t need fishing licenses any time of the year.

The DNR urges everyone to take proper precautions when out on frozen lakes. Ice conditions vary, and there is no such thing as 100% safe ice. Always check local ice conditions before heading out to a lake or river.
